The art of living is more like wrestling than dancing, in so far as it stands ready against the accidental and the unforeseen, and is not apt to fall.

Living well is less a routine performed than a stance held. A dance depends on everything arriving in the expected order; wrestling assumes the opposite, that something unplanned will come at you, and its skill is in staying on your feet when it does. Plans are useful and they are not the same as readiness.

Rather than adding detail to the plan this week, add slack: a margin in the money, a gap in the schedule, one relationship you could call on. Then ask what you would do if the main thing failed on Wednesday. Balance keeps a week upright, not choreography.
