Planning (or lack of thereof)

When I was a child/teen, I was planning (or trying to) everything.

As I grew older, I realized that it is difficult to plan effectively, since so much is out of our control. Around that time, I stopped planning long term and just take things as they come. That made for great flexibility.

Now that my life is upside down, with the move out of Tokyo area and everything else, I find myself needing a little more structure. Daily life is still kind of up in the air, since MIL is not yet back home.

I spent last week thinking and reading about what I really want to do and where I really want to go, in term of career and development.

The task is challenging, probably because I have so many different interests. One part of me is very logical and structered, while the other is very sensitive and creative. I guess that I have to find a way to merge both.
