Instead of looking ahead over an entire year and making goals, try looking only at the next six weeks. What has to happen in the next six weeks? That’s a lot more clear usually.<br> The truth is, you don’t know what your life will be like in another 12 months, or even 6. Especially if you are still in the phase where your family is young and growing, you might not know if you’ll be pregnant, what the toddler’s nap routine will be like, and a million other variables. Instead of trying to control the details and plan out your life for an entire year (or more!), look at the next 6 weeks and determine what is most important in the phase that you are actually in right now rather than where you hope to be in the future. Faithfulness happens in the now, not the future, and God works with us where we are, not where we should be or want to be.<br> So embrace the now and work with it. Live it. And know that you’ll be able to handle the unpredictability of life by applying faithfulness and obedience as you go along.<br> <br> <br> <br> Read the original post here:<br> <a href="http://www.simplifiedorganization.com/2014/interval-planning-dont-skip-rest-period">Interval Planning: Don’t Skip the Rest Period</a><br> Download the free interval planning guide<br> Follow the bibliographic trail<br> These are the books that inspired me to plan in short bursts rather than with long-term goal setting.<br> <br> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005X0MFD2/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B005X0MFD2&linkCode=as2&tag=simplyconvivial-20&linkId=4921120c0bb950f830c9b39158e82794"></a><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1118509234/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1118509234&linkCode=as2&tag=simplyconvivial-20&linkId=f36420bcba63b51ee919a6f41ca756fa"></a><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0143126563/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0143126563&linkCode=as2&tag=simplyconvivial-20&linkId=3ab52c54f60eece29ca69f624329ea33"></a><br> <br> <a href="http://www.simplifiedorganization.com/worktheplan">Learn a complete system for keeping your plates spinning</a>.<br> <a href="https://www.simplifiedorganization.com/worktheplan"></a><br> Have questions about interval planning?
