Micro planners

Proper planning is an important part of getting lots of things done.

Whether those things are done right or not, whether they get done or not, can depend on something as small answering the phone.

The tiniest vibration in someone's pocket today can mean the difference between three hundred people leaving home to attend a lecture, or a completely empty auditorium devoid of anything except the ghosts of speakers past.

This is the age of micro planners and maxi doers.  People cram more into the time it took their grandparents to arrive at an event, than those same grandparents even dreamed of putting into a whole day.

And, still, we want to enjoy each thing to the fullest.

It requires we truly learn to live in the moment and let go of all those things that are both past and yet to come.  The present is so rich, so full, so tightly packed that nothing else is necessary . . .

. . .  or possible.
