Plan Flying Without Pants

I am all for 'flying by the seat of your pants' and 'living life in the moment' and 'being spontaneous to throw caution in the wind'.  However, I have noticed that because my yesterday's were well prepared, that today I am able to be carefree.  Flying by pants seat implies that a plan was executed.

Everyday we are either preparing or repairing.

There are only three points that matter for any planned spectrum:  behind, on target, or ahead.  Progress therefore becomes a matter of managing where you are on the spectrum.  Today's incompletes become tomorrow's urgencies. 

Getting about five differnt things, mostly unrelated, done in a day is great, until tomorrow comes and I realize that those five things from yesterday doubled to 10 things to follow up on.

Winsome: sticking to the plan today makes some tomorrow very grateful

Losenone: when things are going well, that is for a reason - usually because of sticking to the plan.  don't get crazy and detour too far from the path that is getting me where i want to go.
