Reading 553: work
Like the wind changing direction, company policies or plans often shift midway this year. Rather than clinging to your first plan, leave room to revise it. Adapting quickly to change earns you the highest praise this year.
Money
Things may not go as expected, so keep money plans flexible too. Rather than locking up a large sum at once, keep some funds you can reach. People who don't panic when the direction changes end up losing less.
People and relationships
Someone close may seem to change their mind a lot this year. Instead of feeling hurt, understand that they are in the wind too. Asking often how they feel now, rather than waiting for a fixed answer, makes things easier.
A small habit for this year
Add a plan B box to your planner for each goal. Even if the wind shifts, you can see your next step right away.
