It is wise to plan, but then, it is wiser still to pray and ask, and then to plan with those inklings you feel God is steering you towards.
A principled life says that the good you plan within the principles of love, truth, mercy, and grace is possible and reachable. But then the unplanned sometimes happens.
I plan finances in order to buffer this: Save up every little inkling I can, pay debts off using the snowball effect, and attempt to get the highest yields so I get paid – even in my downtime.
I focus on training when I am on weekend or leave.
I segment the latent talents I may have and see what I can source or improve to ‘have fun while working’ or diversify so as to earn in a way that I don’t tire out.
I plan my day by looking at the resources I have in my hand: reading for interest and planning lessons, housecleaning – cleaning every step I go, cooking upon entering the kitchen, washing every dish I pick up. Taking care of my animals – as I move around the home – I do the chores systematically. This keeps things interesting.
Where I will be?
I keep on tracking my projects, and at a certain stage I just feel so sick of a certain project, I just want to get it done. And I work day-and-night to make progress.
This works for me now…but as I enter homeschooling with my 3y.o. I will revise this whole philosophy and start sticking to a program that will benefit her.
My 3 year plan will have to include:
- Train my child to be more self-reliant
- Give her a love for books and reading
- Help her make art that helps her write
- Get a floorplan that makes my studio a love to clean and safe space to learn and teach in.
