In this post ‘Becoming Nimble at Dealing with Ever-Changing Plans‘, Leo Babauta expands on our difficulties to adjust in a world changing increasingly quickly. The ability to be nimble is an essential competency today (and I am still personally working on it!)
He shares some principles to reflect upon:
- Every change is a training
- Use changes to stay present
- Learn to relax with uncertainty
- Practice flowing with changes
- You can find focus in chaos, with practice
- Structure is very helpful, but don’t be attached
- Finding joy in the middle of the storm
Developing this competency is certainly essential in an accelerating world where plans change. The Covid situation has added another layer or unpredictability in particular when it comes to travel or work plans. Let’s get better at it!
