I had plans today. I had a schedule. I had goals, timetables, and I was fired up to get some stuff done.
None of it happened.
And that’s fine.
Saying no to things is extremely important.
So is saying yes.
No gives you margin. No frees the clutter in your mind, your spirit and your life. No allows you to engage in a disciplined pursuit of less.
If only I could get that next qualification, then I’d:
One moment my desk is clear. The next — chaos.
Part of me desires a minimal existence — simple, linear, and focused.
But then, I don’t want to impose my desire for those things on my kids. And kids are rarely minimal.
