Whatever you to keep you occupied during the day you are making plans. Perhaps you aren’t even conscious of doing so but you do!

I’ve often been accused (not kindly) of winging everything I do and never thinking through anything. My wife always laughed people stated that – she knew the reality and it involved lots of planning, back ups and redundancies with all potential issues mapped out with a probable solution.

That’s why I was able to deliver a 60 minute All Age Service that always finished to within 60 seconds of 60 minutes exactly – planning, and plenty of it.

On radio we try to work to finish each hour within 10 seconds of the end of that hour. Me? I tend to work towards being less than 1 second under or over every hour.

How is this possible? Well I’m pretty confident at what I do. That helps – of course it does. The other big help is that I care very little for mistakes I make because I’m human!

Whatever you are seeking to do something important, or something that simply affects the lives of others, make a plan and think through what could go wrong – the obvious things – and have something up your sleeve just in case it does go wrong.

And, above all, remember you’re a human not a cyborg, so learn to roll along with the resistance!

Just a thought…
