Finding the balance between a plan and an itinerary
Use the best bits from both a plan and an itinerary for the best day out with your kids.
You probably know the type of person who needs to have an exact plan to leave the house. There are precise schedules, times, and itineraries. This person also tends to over-pack because they are overthinking. Maybe you are this person?
Adventuring requires finding a balance between being prepared and letting things happen.
Allow yourself to plan the broader points, pack lightly, then improvise along the way.
Having a strict itinerary not only stresses you out but also everyone around you.
It’s important to work toward relaxing a bit. Otherwise, all your efforts here become lost because it’s easy to get stressed out. Surprisingly, it takes work to relax. It might seem backward to say that, but for many of us, it’s true, at least until you develop your skills to relax.
Relaxing is a practice.
It’s easy to get stressed out over details. It’s much harder to let things go.
What if you are the type of person to have or make an itinerary?
