The graveyard contains unfinished plans that once felt safe to postpone.

STILLNESS

WHAT THIS MEANS

A great many plans never happened, not because they were abandoned but because there seemed to be plenty of time, right up until there was not. Postponement feels safe precisely because nothing bad happens when you do it. This is worth holding gently rather than as a source of panic. It is simply a reason to move one thing from the someday list into this year.

Choose the plan you would most regret never starting. Take one concrete step toward it in the next fortnight, however small. Started things have a way of continuing, and unstarted ones tend to stay that way.
