Note to self on planning

Action, as Goethe tells us, has magic in it. I do agree.

But, remember, action can be very small and it still qualifies as magic. Action of any kind is the polar opposite of speculation.

Creating plans is lots of fun, like fantasizing or telling a tale. But, if action is your goal, be alert when you begin to plan. Some planning creates action, but lots of planning doesn't; it avoids and replaces action.

If you just want entertainment and a little brain exercise, however, drawing up a plan is more fun than a bucket of ants.
