I am the kind of person who likes to make detailed lists. The kind of person who likes to organize via coordinated calendars, Excel files, and hard copies. The kind of person who likes to ponder elaborate “what if” scenarios as if I can prepare for the unknown. I am a planner. But while I tend towards stress when I don’t have a plan, I am getting better at being okay without one. And for that, I am thankful.
