I like to approach life with the mentality of half-planned/half-unplanned. Travel taught me this. Instead of having a rigid itinerary, I learned to keep things fluid on my first long-term trip. I had some set checkpoints scheduled in, but I would fill in the space with just random opportunities that would come up.
That is a nice approach! My calendar right now is about 30% work, 30% plans, and 40% empty for me to fill it with whatever comes up! It's working for me so far especially now that my emotional bandwidth is pretty limited.
