I think I've mentioned before that occasionally, I give myself a free day, where all I do is act on my intuition and I don't plan anything for the entire day. If I feel like eating ice cream for breakfast, I do it. If I feel like walking to work and not driving, I follow that that thought and do it.
You wouldn't believe how freeing, yet how difficult it can be! NOT planning is not my initial reaction. I want to know what I am doing, where I am going ,and what the plan for the day is. However, I'm finding that planning is sometimes a futile effort. There is a season for everything and today is my season for not planning anything and just going with the flow.
So, my cyberpeeps, the challenge for today is to give yourself a free day. Don't plan anything and see where the day takes you. There might just be a huge surprise waiting for you somewhere! Let me know how it goes in the comments section!

This actually sounds like a pretty good idea to put in practice. For someone like me (list addict and planner to the second) it's very difficult not to plan and have a very clear written out calendar/agenda of what I need to accomplish daily. I'll try it one of these days, maybe next Friday? Today I already have the list on hand and need to check off quite a few of those things ; )
I'm doing this Sunday. I am working the next two days, so I'm getting all the routine stuff out of the way. I'll write and let you know!
Hey, I just came across your blog and thought I should mention that I like it a lot.
I completely agree with your free day analogy.
I took your advice for this weekend. I got sooo much more done that I thought.
Thanks. You can be so positive :)
Jen- hope you got your list done!
Princess B- hope your Sunday was a great day. (I had a Free Day on Sunday too.)
Saveyoursoul- thanks and welcome!
AGAW- Isn't it funny how much more you can get done? That always amazes me too.
