Contingency Planning
Contingency planning can be for any aspect of life. Personal, business, and community besides emergency. When life gets hectic or something profoundly impacting happens we should have a contingency plan for all aspects of life! No matter how small or how large the concern that is troubling you, if you are prepared you can sail right through it with minimal basic, natural emotional upset to the difficulty.
It has taken me some time to realize this and to understand a very different approach to be organized! It is not really radical either. Just a different approach to how I see the things going on around me and in my life. Being an a-typical human being with emotions, likes and dislikes, I can very well admit that sometimes the world and other people in it can get the better of me. I suspect that this is natural for almost everyone. The trick is knowing exactly what steers you in the wrong direction. Once you know what it is then you can can make a contingency plan for it.
In the personal life area it could be a death in the family that worries you most. If you live far away from loved ones then having a bank account for a flight may be apart of plan. Making sure there is an outfit set aside and in a proper storage bag for each family member. If you have children or it has been awhile since you have had to attend a funeral then check a couple of times a year that it fits.
In the business/working for others area it could be "What if I get sick?". Do you know the policy for the company that you work for? Put it in a place that you will remember; like on the fridge with your weeks schedule. If you are your own boss what does your plan look like? An e-mail sent to your support crew so they know what they need to take over for the day? Calling clients first thing and let them know you will be off work for awhile?
In the community area it could be you have a lot of social responsibility. Do you have someone to take over? Can you find someone on a back up list to fill in? Do you have a running list of who you need to contact?
These are just a couple of examples that can create great worry in some people. Some of these should be done anyways. In organizing your life and surroundings try starting with what bothers you the most if something went wrong for a day, a week, even a month. Some of us the hardship of having life concerns last for years such as a car accident or health problem know that planning is a very key component to surviving a difficult time. What can you do to make life simpler for yourself by having these plans in place?
You tailor the plans to fit you. You are the one that knows best and what needs to be done. Grab a pen and paper and figure them out. Put them in to action. Create and have everything you need assessable. If not for those times of life upsetting the flow of your every day things then for the ease of mind of having it done. Bouncing back is easier and more manageable with plans in place.
