Read in February, 2009
Serendipitously read this entire book today ... Ironically, already implementing a very similar system of "natural planning" as outlined on page 56:
1. Defining purpose and principles
2. Outcome visioning
3. Brainstorming
4. Organizing
5. Identifying next actions
As well as collecting project notes in one file/place so as to maintain Categories of Action.
Young encourages planning as a method of being "in the moment" — of rest, play and work. As opposed to being obsessed with a mind full of anxiety and worry.
This one quote confirmed with I have been thinking regarding a project I am working on: If the project is still on your mind, there's more planning to do. ~David Young
Interesting how key elements and how-to's of this book provided me with ease and inspiration simply by confirmation of what I am already doing. Praising God for His amazing grace and patience! ;-)
Note to self: Being Spirit-led means you pause and run — as led! ~James 2:14-26
