Tomorrow holds such promise. And yet, if we’re honest, tomorrow will probably be much like yesterday.
There’s a great focus online about productivity and “getting things done.” It’s easy to think that you can control what you do today and tomorrow and beyond by making lists, plans, and endless to-dos. If you discover the right process you are totally in control.
And yet, when we’re honest, many of us don’t do what we planned.
It’s OK. I’m perfectly happy to abandon plans and to do something else or nothing at all. But I am uncomfortable when I compare the plan to reality.
That tension is a great thing to write about.
For today’s assignment, write two short pages about your plans for tomorrow. The first page will be your idealized plan for what you will do, what will be accomplished. The second page will be your opportunity to honestly state what your day tomorrow will really be like.
For bonus points, write a third page and discuss the tension between the two, what makes you happy or unhappy about it, and how you will shift your day tomorrow by looking at both of these plans, creating a new, possible day that’s somewhere between.
