You have a big project. It is taking a lot of your time. Your brain is working overtime on the front end in planning to ensure that everything works smoothly on the back end. You have thought of every contingency and are well prepared for things to work seemlessly.

Then life happens.

Interruptions break in. Your perfect plan falls apart. Your project happens, but not like you had hoped. What do you do?!

Take a deep breath.

Sometimes, even with the best plans, things don’t work out the way we had wanted them to. If you are a planner, like me, this probably drives you crazy. It’s okay. You are still a good planner. There are just some things you can’t control.

Hang in there. Breathe. Keep going. You can do it.
