No amount of planning can save us from reality, the only thing that can is….

A calm mind.. Here’s why.

I’d just worked out a rather detailed plan for the week yesterday night. It already looked like a pretty tough week with 3 big presentations on tuesday, wednesday and thursday but I woke up today morning(afternoon) and bam – 2 new blocks popped up.

While one is an errand, the other is a task that requires significant preparation and worst of all, needs to be done asap..Now, maybe I could have planned with this in mind, but it doesn’t work like that – does it?

The only thing that could save me is a calm mind..

I, however, pressed the panic button and began reacting – requested a friend for help, told groupmates I’d be late etc.. Only then did I realize that I can be proactive and make the rules and decide how it should flow..

I did.. The week has gotten busier but atleast I’m in control and that’s satisfying.. Should make a mental note to pause more than I do right now when thrown off balance..

Its all in the mind really..
