Plans - How I love to make them

I am not as enthusiastic about doing something about their realization though.
BUT: I do not have this problem with plans that require a lot of work.
Sometimes a plan is made and perfect. Now: who am I to perfectionate the perfection? Exactly.
Realizing the plan might ruin it.

Other plans wether they require a lot of work or just hard work or longterm work, I fulfill. Not everyone of them, but a good number.

Then there are those plans, that sound good, but turn out really very bad or disappointing.

And some things - a lot really - I do unplanned. Like moving the furniture in my flat. Buying wool to knit sox. Going to the cinema to watch a film.

There are times, when I have made a plan for every last second in the next 80 years for myself. That is the dangerous point, when I start making plans for others. Because I am in general very convinced about the success of my plans. And though I am writing it myself: it is born out of former success.

Very often plans or ideas I voiced to others and that they actually followed, were very successful. Sometimes plans that I made for myself, but discarded for one of the above-mentioned reasons (or even other reasons) turned out to work for others.

The thing about planning stuff for other people is: they live a completely different life and they think very differently than what I think (was that a real sentence?),
Sometimes, I figure that in and those are the most successful plans. Sometimes I ignore it, but that doesn't mean the plan won't work. It often does, because I ignored the difference.
At the same time it can happen, that it only works for a while, then the person I planned for gets bored with the plan or life comes inbetween and so they stop. Or they just come to a point, as everyone will at some time in life, where an add-on is needed. Where one has to adjust a plan.
That's good or bad or neutral. Depending on people, circumstances and plan.

I will go on planning so be afraid: be VERY afraid...

And I made a plan for myself. :) a longterm one. I will pay off my flat and save very hard and get it renovated and while I do all that, I reduce my living-costs as low as I can without depriving me of human contact, health, happyness and decency. But in the spirit of minimalism I empty my life of the superflous stuff. And the better I get at that, the better I'll be able to reduce my working hours.

And with that increase of time, I can improve my count of acts of kindness, which can do with improvement.

Don't get me wrong: I won't wait with the acts of kindness until I am able to go down to about 30 hours a week or even 25, that I will start immediately or rather have started already. But I will increase the amount of time I put into this.

I will not, however, spend all my freed time to do good deeds. I will spend some time just being me.
And that means: being alone. Without people or noise or movement. I will be. So what do I do: I do life and I do it the way I like it. Which is the best way to do life.

I could of course thing of stopping my work altogether, but I happen to like my work and the people I work with. So I don't see any reason to leave before my time. And it is a nice thought to be able to go home, when others have to stay. Or let's make it a little nicer: stay by choice because they can't see the sense in working less. It means earning less. Yes, it does. But if I earned more, I would only spend more on STUFF. I want less stuff. So: less money makes it harder to get stuff. I like that.

So the plan is: earn money by not spending it in order to be able to earn less and feel great!
