Too busy to plan...?

Over the past few weeks I’ve felt increasingly out of control with the amount of stuff I have to do; big projects, small commitments, family tasks - too much to do, not enough getting done right.

Then this morning I realised that over the same period I had stopped updating my daily and weekly planning - too busy doing, not enough time deciding whether it needs doing at all…

Fortunately, there was a simple fix - 30 minutes with a coffee and my planner, and I’m back in control and happier as a result.

And now that I have freed-up some mental bandwidth, it makes me wonder what other proven strategies I’ve allowed to unravel a little too much…
