 When you make plans such as a work plan, a job description, a budget, or even just planning your days off, leave room available for things you can't anticipate. Resist the temptation to pack plans too full. Governments grow, in part, because when legislators see what looks like latent capacity -- people sitting around -- they rush to fill the void with additional responsibilities. Then when "stuff comes up" there is inadequate capacity so new spending is needed to build more capacity. Sometimes sitting around and being available is exactly what we want; think firefighters.
 
 Plan to be available for things unplanned. Don't hold too tightly to your “plans”. Be available to the people and things that are truly most important.
