Planning for the future is important and I constantly plan for things. Planning makes things a little easier to manage. When you think of planning you are probably thinking about the small details that are involved in goal setting and achieving. Scratch that thought I make a general plan. IE: Travel,take art form classes,join a club. These plans don't really have a time frame its things I look forward to. I don't have any set strict must bes I have a broad spectrum. I am seeking to have experiences and personal adventures. Art forms however is and always has been one of the things that brings me joy comfort relaxation.It will always be a thing of joy taking me places that don't cost a thing. Happy places so to speak. Travel is a chance to learn to be more flexible. Not letting strict ideals get in the way of you having a rare experience. No more stress I am thinking somewhere I can have some decent weather,things for me to do that may enrich my life and fun over all. So who's planning now? What are you planning?

Unfortunately I am not planning anything exciting today. My planning centers around getting my chores done like what to shop for, have for lunch, clean the house. Shortly it will get a little more exciting as I start planning for the holiday festivities at my home and my family members' homes.

planning for the holidays can be a lot of fun but it can become stressful when it comes to making it all happen with a small budget.

They say when you fail to plan, you plan to fail. I am planning to retire as early as I can.

There have been many things I have wanted to do and not to far in the future I will have the time to do those things so I am trying to have a direction at least.

I do that too which is why this time I am not going to make specific details on this list of things I want to do. The last thing I need to do is to complicate the whole ordeal.

Everyday I plan for my retirement 30 years from now that's why I work from Monday to Sunday and save every penny I have so that I'll get to enjoy my retirement years.

I spend some and save some because there is no telling when we will die and if it was to be a few weeks from now it would suck that I worked so hard to save and never enjoyed any of it while I was living. Planning for a golden retirement is smart.

I'm planning my life not quite there yet. I have a plan A and B I'm still trying to find more plans. Thinking way further ahead isn't easy but I'm trying. Sometimes I'm overwhelmed of what to do in my future. I'm hopeful my life will turn out good.

All you can do is have a plan and try to factor in the pros and cons and then when the time arrives factor in unforeseen or potential opportunities.

I find it does this time however I will not complicate it by trying to plan every single aspect of this. I figured it would be best to just be general about it. Like with hotel arrangements I am not going to pick one and be stubborn about it but I will be sure to keep within a price range.

I think it is good to plan as long as such plans are flexible. There is a saying if you don't know where you're going, you never know when you get there and that's pretty true too.

@JudyEv thanks I have always wanted to try to do some weird art but I never have the time I want to dedicate to things because well life happens lol but in the mean time I can keep saving ideas and collecting things I will need to do it.

I am trying to turn a new leaf. trying to just enjoy the me time that i will have in the next few years. Mostly planning for things that I know are coming up and I want to be ready and not waste any of the time I have. Right now I am trying to work on some art work taking pictures and editing them to my liking. I think this is what some call stopping to smell the roses lol.
