At this point very little planning goes into my days, I am trying to make a meeting a day but have been sick now for almost 5 days and have made 2 meetings. I have a calender with all my scheduled appointments that i need to make and for now thats about it I wing it LOL. I wake in the morning sometimes I get someone to help me and I set that up the day before with one of my helpers, I have been doing little projects around the house and get cheap laborer for that.
I have a routine that I stick to. Not just because I have children, but also because it helps with my soberity. I always try to plan things a week ahead of time, so I can mentally prepare myself. Now, if I can just learn how to deal with when a monkey wrench gets thrown into my routine without freaking out. LOL
It varies quite a bit. some days require little or no planning, and are pretty much routine. It's the 'out of ordinary' things that require planning. In those cases, I may plan a day, week or even months ahead.
Kinda like yesterday's QOD (goals), I prefer to be a free spirit, so planning is one of those things that my first reaction is to poo-poo. Okay - maybe that's the wrong word. Blow off, ignore, deny, run from as fast as I can? Yeah, that's probably more like the reality. Yeah, you got me - I detest planning!
I used to live in a recovery half-way house, and one of the things that was required of us was to turn in a day planner the night before. If we didn't put it in our schedule, we werent allowed to do it. It was really hard for me, but it really helped me to stay more organised and I was actually able to make some appointments without being reminded, which is weird for me!
