I like order, and I like knowing what’s out there. I plan, I ruminate a lot, and I like things to be all mapped out, with all bases covered. Plan A, Plan B, and all the backups you can think of? I’ve got it all written down in a handy little notebook. But for this to work (a better part of the time), I do this only for things that are tangible and measurable.
I leave the unknown – the creative bits – entirely map free. I don’t dictate how things go in my head. I allow myself free time to think. I get a piece of paper and start writing and drawing – not knowing what the outcome would be. I experiment with projects, and solutions to find out what works and what doesn’t, because that’s the only way to learn.
So stop obsessing about the destination, and enjoy the journey instead; because if the former is all you care about, then you’ll probably won’t absorb the lessons that the latter has to offer.
