Plan your future or enjoy the present?
The personal development blogosphere is taken by a few deeply philosophical debates lately.
One of these opposes goal setters to the more epicurian “enjoy the present moment” enthusiasts. Naturally, it can be difficult to do both at the same time.
The Creative Lab offers some insight on doing just that… Both.
Find your passion and with some practice and developped expertise, preparing the future and enjoying the present moment becomes one and the same.
Use goal oriented time management tools (as opposed to simply task oriented) and each of your efforts will be set towards making progress towards a goal. This way, for the time spent preparing the future through one of our numerous non-enjoyable tasks, you can ensure that the greater part of this time is made effective.
