1. That’s how I (try to) roll…

2. This definitely relates to the day I’m having. I do what I want!

3. This is how I get by each and every day.

4. Paradise. Awesome :)

5. One time I did this while going for a walk. I ended up two suburbs away from my home. Much fun. :D

6. this is what I always try to do. unfortunately it’s not easy when you have so many things to do for uni. I’m sooo looking forward to the holidays when I finally can be fully spontaneous again!

7. Thank You! I agree – plans make life boring !!

8. Yes! The most special and awesome things almost always happen when you didn’t plan them. :)

9. A planned life is a boring life!

10. I am a serious plan maker. I make plans for everything. For shopping, for cooking, for the weekend, for the day, for the next couple hours….I mean everything!! So, yes…it is really awesome when I can take some time to do things unplanned and spur of the moment.

    1. I’m like you, Bekah.. I’m a BIG planner.. in fact, I just e-mailed some friends to try to figure out when we were going camping on a weekend in July of 2011! I’m a bit compulsive this way..

       So, sometimes I try to keep this in mind, and let things just happen.. it’s tough though – it’s very against my nature..

       Ok.. my planned 5:00 minutes to check this website is up. Time to go check another website!

       1. I do try not to plan THAT far in advance cuz things seem to fall through. I had a lot of plans for things to happen before the end of this year, and they aren’t going to happen. Been making plans for this for a few years ….but its all on hold now. So, I’ll just stick to planning a few months in advance instead of half a year or more.

          1. Yeah, disappointment from unmet expectations is the worst part of plans. :(

11. Yeah this is great, but you just try to do it when you have other people with other busy schedules interested in spending time with you (e.g. a relationship)… you gotta set time apart

12. That’s when chances are higher for serendipity….

13. This immediately made me thinkg of Tom Petty’s song “Free Fallin’.” And if that song is now stuck in your head–you’re welcome.

    1. That is my favorite song ever!

    2. I have “Making Plans for Nigel” in my head.

    3. I have “Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy)” by John Lennon in my head.

       “Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans…”

14. I plan by the minute only.

15. Yes! No big plans for this afternoon! I’m finished teaching, and it’s snowing outside. Hot chocolate calls. I have an awesome moment for you: Last night, all my college students came over for a big dinner, and it reminded me what college should be. http://livewithflair.blogspot.com/2010/12/how-college-should-be.html

16. I wish I could not make plans but I’m too busy. (haha)

17. Love it – my favorite motto is ‘make it up as I go’ instead of planning everything like I used to. I’ve found things fall into place much easier and with less stress. LOVE!

18. oh I definitely need more of this in my life!

19. Does remind me on the movies “Before sunrise” & “Before sunset”:) Love the concept of just go with the flow & see where you end up:) –> More adventurous, discovering new things…I like that!:)

20. Everyone who didn’t see those movies yet: watch them on a rainy/boring day. The whole movies are just a conversation, & just between 2 persons but it’s brilliant! (You can watch them on Youtube in parts too.) Must see if you wanna get inspired about not making plans!:)

21. The feeling of being free. So nice.

22. I agree life is much to short i remember when i was just a young boy praying i would grow up faster, i cant wait tell i am older. and now twenty Four years later i am asking myself where did it all go. I would give anything to be 10 years old again

24. i love making plans then doing something totally different and not really careing about it anymore

25. I think I have forgotten how to do this – not making plans. It’s been so long since I did this.

26. There is a balance. I’m the kind of person who never makes plans until the very last second, or not at all, and its not the best way to do things.

27. Still playing catch up, and so close I want to catch up, and wondering if I will before the kids get home.
    Kind of funny, on this date we moved into our house, our first home, (our 9th move in 18 years, but the first one we OWN)
    If I had read it then, I would have laughed so loud, cause you can’t move without making plans!
