Creative Planning (2 of 7)


SEVEN VITAMINS FOR THE CREATIVE LIFE
Call-over 2 of 7: PLAN IT, DESIGN IT. (A bit.)
For a great many people life is wherever they’ve landed up. I certainly know the feeling. When I first moved to New York, I’d catch an early train to Manhattan every morning. And almost every morning I ran down the hill, just barely catching it. Then it hit me: why was I doing this to myself? The train time didn’t change. It wouldn’t be difficult to adjust my morning routine ever so slightly to *not* start my work day gasping and sweating, but to start it instead with a peaceful stroll to the station. I could have that kind of morning.
I just had to design it that way.
