LIFE STRATEGIES AND PLANS
HAVING THEM READY TO HANDLE LIFE AS IT HAPPENS!
A life strategy or plan is a systematic way of dealing with something in life. The way we find what strategies we need to devise and have ready is to look at what we need to deal with in life to make life work and/or to stop what causes life not to work. Allowing the latter to continue should not be tolerated at all. And letting oneself let a moment go by without taking the opportunities to set up ways to have life work better should be beneath our standards.
What strategies do we need, for what? Is there any argument that justifies not forming and utilizing these as needed in life? Haven't you already devised a few of these that don't serve you?
Do you have time to handle this long list?
Just change a few of the key items and you'll find that you have extra time beyond what you spend on these.
Just decide from what is already written what to revise and then commit to doing the revised strategy that will make life work better.
