I've just had this discussion with my partner, we're both off work for Easter and she said how she feels all over the place without the normal workweek routine. So I suggested making the routine, planning the next day in advance because for her, and me, if there is no plan, not a lot gets done. It's hard to engage with anything if there's nothing on the calendar.
Spontaneity is great... I just like to plan it in advance. And I'm not even joking. There's a 4 hour block on Tuesday that is free to do whatever. Then come Tuesday at 11am choose what to do. Does that count as spontaneous?
Thanks for the entry Aprille, intent can indeed be a tricky thing to put into practice, but if you intend to be a free spirit not bound by routine and time blocked calendars I think it still counts!
That's so interesting Mark because my partner and I spend so much time in situations where we are scheduled and controlled by others demands that we find an open schedule inspiring and get a ton of things done along with relaxing and just being. The idea of a day stretching out ahead with no plan in it just calls to us.
I love the uniqueness of this question of intent and the varying ways one can see it.
Everyone works differently, I take comfort in knowing what's on the schedule because I think I know I'm so forgetful. If I haven't put a thing on a list I won't do it, so the days like today (Easter Sunday) where I have nothing planned, don't exactly feel uncomfortable but I'd rather know what I'll be doing in 2 hours and 5 hours so I can prepare if needed.
That is what is so beautiful about people! Some of us plan, some of us do what feels right for us at the moment! The beauty is that we all need each other, just the way we are! My husband Geoffrey always told me that I was so black and white and that I didn't see those shades of gray. He called me "Roman" as opposed to "Celt". He loved history and told me that the Romans admired the Celts because they could adapt and flow so easily! He taught me how to flow more, but I still am a planner! That's the beauty; we all fit together and we all help each other to flow, to plan, to BE!💜😇💖☯️💗☮️💞
Exactly Carole! And each of uses a bit of both in our lives. I like to think that no side is any better than the other and that like Yin and Yang, there is a balance and harmony to it.
