It's been a long time since I have planned out a day and stuck to it. It seems that these days nothing goes to plan, ideas change, different things come up and it's all just one big mess. Things change so quickly.
A bit of planning had gone into carefully timing out tomorrows schedule. Friends to meet, jobs to do, but first thing on the agenda was to cycle up to the local shopping center to collect a very important parcel. Max amount of time allocated to for the task 45mins. You set the morning alarm on the phone and drift off to sleep.
You pull yourself out of bed in the morning, get some clothes on yourself. Jacket, hat, scarf because its balltic outside. You nearly break you neack on the icy path as you walk out to the shed to get your bike that you havent ridden in a few months. Low and behold, flat tires.......not just one but two :( . See you thought you would be smart and keep a spare bike tube in the shed just in case you-you ever got a flat tire. And you did. But you just weren't prepared to be greeted with two flat tires.
Straight away your day changes. You have to pick up this gift. No way you cant. So you start to walk. An easy 40 min+ walks up and back. To collect the parcel. It turns your 45 min adventure into at least a 2 hr expadition.
Everything is shifted in your schedule and not for the better.
You spend the rest of the day trying to catch up with yourself, but your rushing things and things just go to shit. It's not that you're not trying it's just that you're probably trying too hard.
This is exactly what happened to the other day.
Planning out your day is important but planning it out in case shit goes wrong is equally important. Also, keep two bike tubes in your shed.
