being "in the thing" while being "on top of things"

my friend karthik wrote about the impulse to stay on top of things . looking again at my workload levelling, i am finding that once i determine what i want to do in a day and allot timeslots for them, i am very relaxed, and very much "in the thing" and a lot of stuff got done.

so, we may need to be a bit of both - on top and in it...but not at the same time, that's all :)

the most difficult thing was the "planning what to do" part. afterwards, once an activity was started, it was quite easy to forget about the rest.. btw, i am finding it a bit difficult to sustain.

i know that navneet will say, even without doing any planning, spontaneously, we can get into being "in the thing" and that will also give peace.. which is true...

maybe i am just a bit too obsessed with perfection!
