Changed my mind about planning my whole year in January
I always blocked out my entire calendar with goals on New Year's Day. This time, I only planned the first quarter in detail, leaving the rest open. When my friend in Denver offered me a freelance project in April, I could say yes instantly. I learned that too much structure can block good opportunities. How do you balance planning with staying flexible?

Totally get what @noraj79 means about overpacking. It's the same idea. You plan for every single thing and then you're just dragging a heavy suitcase around for no reason. I used to map out my work projects six months ahead. Missed out on a cool collab last year because my calendar was already full of stuff I ended up dropping anyway. Now I just set a couple big goals and leave room to move stuff around. Way less stress.
