Yes! Thank you for this post!! You bring in many ideas, I hadn't thought about. For example, trying to have balance in a day, that never-ending quest. November is NaNoWrMo - National Novel (or essay or memoir or poetry collection)Writing Month and instead of a word count, I've given myself an hour with my obsession everyday. It really does set the stage for energy and focus for the rest of the day and I can relax into the hour because I know I have another hour coming up tomorrow.
As for the 5 Year Plan, I hear what you're saying - make a decision and put a stake, or several stakes, in the ground knowing that you might change your mind, which is okay because it's just more information about what you want/don't want. If you don't put a stake in the ground, there's nothing to respond to and the path continues to be blurry. Yes, I think the trick is how many things can I keep moving forward on letting go of the idea of balance and following my intuition for pursuing things. Does that make sense?

I'm happy you're obsession this month with your writing! Use your calendar to muscle test what's most important, Julie.
