recently i was chatting with a younger friend about internship-searching. so i went back into my notes and found a couple notes where i thought through my internship strategy. realized in retrospect that i had accomplished everything that i wanted to accomplish - and it felt extremely validating! that all my thinking, planning, strategizing leads to me getting exactly what i want. by nature, i’m Type A asf. having no plan for myself for major decisions in the near future makes me anxious. thinking like this comes naturally to me and is part of how i operate - and i know i get questions about this sometimes from people who it might not come naturally to - so i thought i’d share. that being said, obviously this doesn’t hold for everything – over-rigid plans, over-done planning, having “10-year goals”, etc can be counterproductive. you need to be able to be flexible & dynamic with your goals/plans as life situations and values and circumstances and opportunities change. let life take you
