The Master Scheduler

Many of us spend a lot of time planning and scheduling the events of our daily lives. As long as I can remember, I always seemed to have some sort of plan to move forward, take vacations, or complete assignments, tasks, courses, or jobs. In fact, I actually made a career out of scheduling at one point, but that's a page from the past that I won't dredge up during this post.

If I can schedule and plan around all of the other career events, I'm sure I can squeeze a mid-life crisis into the mix. In past posts, I was starting to feel the aging process begin, but in the last year or two, the onset of the aging process has worn on me. Unlike the traditional symptoms of a mid-life crisis, I don't intend to buy a fancy car or go skydiving or bungee jumping.

My version of a mid-life crisis is a bit more cerebral. What happens when you achieve the original goals you set out to accomplish? Most of my career goals have been completed, and some of my retirement career goals are near completion. There comes a time when you know you've completed the course and the priorities that got you to a certain point no longer have that urgency they once had. So what do you do in that case? Normally, you make new goals based upon your current needs and ambitions, or remain complacent and lose part of the edge that got you to this point.

Since I really don't think it's time for me to lose the edge that got me to this point, I guess it's time to create some new career aspirations and maybe catch up on a few of those things that I missed a couple of decades ago. Time to start scheduling...

See ya.
