Sarah shares her recent 'not according to plan' experience with flu/COVID, and then Laura and Sarah discuss what happens when things don't unfold as they anticipated. Both make a case for planning anyway - though "plan tightly, then lightly" might apply to the near vs farther future. They discuss backup plans, anticipating problems, resilient scheduling and more.
They also pop in with a little 2023 goals update!
In the Q&A, a listener writes in asking about how to best handle transitions. She'd like to read, but finds it hard to focus in small bursts and she's tired because she has toddlers! Sarah and Laura offer suggestions and alternatives.
