Stay sane and space out your planning

by Jeff on April 17, 2009

Some people are born planners who can sit in a room for hours and assemble all the smallest details without as much as looking out the window. God love ‘em, but I’m not one of those people.

Maybe most guys are like this, but after about an hour I start fidgeting and looking around for anything else to do besides what I’ve been doing. This is why remote controls and the Internet are like magnets for most guys … when we get bored, we just start flitting around for the next shiny bauble that can hold our attention for longer than 30 seconds. There must be some evolutionary reason for this because almost every guy friend I have is like this.

So if your main squeeze is like me and has the attention span of an ADD squirrel, then I would suggest you plan with him in small bursts. Groomasaurus Gal and I have been setting aside an hour or two every week to take care of our wedding planning tasks, and it’s worked out really well. She feels like we making steady progress (she’s very task-minded), while I feel like I am doing my part and able to devote my full attention.
