I am a huge planner. Managing time is my strength. Making sure there's enough distance between performances is a requirement that allows the mind body and soul to breathe. But is there a difference between a planner and someone who predicts? In reality while laying out the ground work of each new day am I not predicting this is how things will arrive? It's a dangerous thin line. Putting a prediction out there sets you up for disappointment. But when you break it down. So does daily planning. I go into each day knowing what should be accomplished but we know how today's working environment is based on other peoples time. How do you better protect the system that carries you to the productivity required. Knowing the difference between planning and predicting is a brilliant step in awareness. Respecting each side of the fence may feel like a closed door but in the end being prepared is always the answer.
