As soon as we outline what we call a plan, life's constant of change continues.
People engaged in and who matter to the plan change their mind about the good we seek
The world changes in any number of unplanned and unpredictable ways
New ideas occur to us on how to better progress toward the good we want to see possible
Mindful planning meaning anticipating and noticing these and acting accordingly. The idea that we should "follow a plan" is a bizarre and self-defeating belief in a dynamic world where the future is significantly unknowable.
