Just that, in my experience, I don't 'schedule' chaos... Because it is chaos. I expect it to arrive unanounced and unexpectedly. So, when it does, I am able to meet it better as I have already planned the remaining time. I do agree with you that people are unrealistic in their planning and expect some clockwork regularity from themselves. Or maybe, they never did stop believing they were Superman. Nevertheless, I would let chaos do its work while I do mine. And, I like all the interesting stuff on your site and your quirky take on them :) I like the idea, Sean.

Madamedon Tue, 19 Aug 2008 16:55:45 +0000 http://www.psychotactics.com/blog/?p=46#comment-69 Believe me I totally agree with you regarding planning for Chaos Time. There is this certain school of thought that believe that by planning for such, YOU ARE ACTUALLY BRINGING IT to your your. Personally I do not agree with that concept of bringing it to yourself stuff. I just think you are being realistic which is "choas is part of life. And you deal with it, how well you are prepared, how well you are mentored is what makes a huge difference". I think that is why some folks face chaos with laughter because in a way, they've made provision for it. And chaos comes, they offer her a seat, give her a cup of tea or whateve to drive. They both talk and later send choas away. This way, they are not stressed. ps: I personified chaos as her. Believe me I totally agree with you regarding planning for Chaos Time.

I think that is why some folks face chaos with laughter because in a way, they’ve made provision for it.

And chaos comes, they offer her a seat, give her a cup of tea or whateve to drive.

They both talk and later send choas away.

This way, they are not stressed.

This is why I literally keep several hours in a week absolutely free of any activity. For instance, I'll keep Tuesday and Thursday loaded with stuff for the morning, and then nothing for the afternoon. Invariably, something pops up, and I'm grateful that I've allocated time for the confusion. Welcome to the party. This is why I literally keep several hours in a week absolutely free of any activity.

I guess organised people don't need David's book. And people like me who have ten thousand things going at the same time, need to just factor in some chaos. Though when you think about it, chaos has no friends. It strikes the organised as often as the disorganised. Somehow, reading his book didn’t solve my problem.
