This is a wonderful way to live!
Instead of worrying ahead of time or having problems from the past accumulate, try this. Keep what you want to accomplish in the back of your mind, and as you go through life, be ready for opportunities to see to it that these things get done. Do what you do just in time, but not at the last minute, and not worrying ahead of time.
If you do what you do, thoroughly, as you grow, planning to make it last for a very long time—you'll have more freedom and less problems in the future.
If you do what you do with reserves of everything you need(including time, tools, money, advisors, etc.), you won't be being irresponsible, or just putting things off until the last minute.(You can plan or take note of your reserves, ahead of time, thinking about it on and off—making it easy on yourself—not having to worry or spend a long time planning.)
For example, recently I had a luncheon meeting, in a nearby city that I'm not familiar with. Formerly, I would have worried in advance, spent lots of time with maps, spending time and energy. Before that I would have gone without directions, possibly coming late, anxious and worried.
Instead, I started a bit early so I had a reserve of time(which it turned out I needed. I got there just on time). I called for directions on the way, using my cellular phone. If I couldn't reach someone for directions or get good directions, I had in mind two places I could stop at along the way and get directions. I also had in mind a friend who knew the city, who I could call if I had to. I estimated that I had a 50% chance of reaching him if I needed him—less than reserve, more of an emergency option.
I went there and got directions just in time, with reserves of time and ways of getting directions, and my plan was a thorough one.
We had a wonderful meeting, which I was fully focused on, not having to hurry. Best of all, I didn't worry on the way or spend time being lost. I got directions just in time, thoroughly, with reserve.
Try it, you'll like it! With this approach you can get lots more done, with far less effort, and with greater safety and more responsibility.
這是一種精彩的生活方式！
與其為未來或過去的問題而憂心忡忡，不如試著這樣去做。先將你想要完成的事置諸腦後。為在日後的生活中，為機遇作好準備，並確保這些事情能夠完成。做事要及時，但並不是要拖到最後的時刻才做。而且，不要擔心未來。
在你的成長過程中，做任何事情都必須長久地堅持下去，這樣你的未來會更自由、更順利。
如果你做任何事，都有必需的儲備（包括時間、工具、金錢、顧問等），那麽，你就是可靠之人，或者說是不會把事情放到最後一秒去做的人（你可以將你的儲備、未來以及對它的思考記錄下來，這使你對它了如指掌。而且，也不需要你為之擔憂或花長時間去計劃）。
比如說，最近在一個周圍我不太熟悉的城市，我要去參加一個午餐會議。以前，我會提前擔心，並花很長時間去研究地圖。既浪費了時間，又消耗了精力。要不然，我就會毫無方向地亂找，還有一種可能就是遲到、不安和悶悶不樂。
後來，我提前出發了一會兒，給自己留出一些時間（最後證明，我確實需要這段時間。我準時到達了那裏）。在路上，我用手機尋求指導。如果別人不能為我指引方向，或是沒有好的指引，我就會在我知道的沿途的兩個地方停下來詢問一番。我還知道一個熟悉這個城市的朋友，在我沒辦法時可以給他打電話。如果我需要他的話，我估計找到他的概率有百分之五十。這不是準備，而是緊急情況下的選擇。
因為有時間，並作好取得路線指導的準備，再加上及時得到了指引，我來到了目的地。我的計劃太完美了！
我們的會議開得很圓滿。會上我精力集中，沒有一絲憂慮。最棒的是，在路上我沒有焦慮，也沒有浪費時間。因為有所準備，我十分及時地找到了路線。
嚐試一下，你會喜歡這種方法的！用這樣的方法，你就可以事半功倍，獲得更大的滿足感和責任心。
心靈小語
人生百態，有人事事不如意，在自責中度過一生，埋怨自己的人生不得誌，適當地放鬆自己，可以讓之後的事事半功倍！
