The unplan

You can plan to have fun and you can have fun without a plan. There’s a time and place for both, today is about the latter.

Plans come with expectations. It’s part of making trade-off decisions in the plans themselves.

Some say that the universe has plans for you, a sign from up above. Others believe that everything is random chance and once in a while the stars align. A broken clock is right twice a day.

You can shirk the plan at any point. Every moment gives you a window to ditch the plan and make the moment your own.

The recipe:

• Go for a walk.

• See something new.

• Choose to engage in a positive way.

• Leave a positivity behind.

• When it feels right, create an opportunity to follow up.

• Follow up.

As your plan unfolds, as simple or as complex as it may be, you will find gaps in your plan. These are the unplanned opportunities to fill in the moments that ultimately make the memories.
