Have just popped over from Leo's Zen Habits and this is great advice. Often my best ideas result from spontaneity. I love it.

Hey, Glen -
I've been meaning to stop by here anyway (I'm one of the new blogging kids on the b5 biz channel) and this article was a perfect reason.
A friend of mine calls it "planned spontaneity" when she pencils in a block of "I don't know what I'm going to do with that time." Ironic, but it works.
Lately I've been on the learning edge of balancing the Have To's with the Want To's - and giving the second category as much weight as the first. It's tough, but life is a lot more satisfying overall. Thanks for the reminder!
Warmly, Jennifer

Good reminder. The voices in our heads that shout, "Work, work harder!" need to be balanced with the voices that say, "Did you see that?! I think I'll stop what I'm doing and go check it out."

Good tips for a healthy balance between productivity habits and enjoying life. They don't need to be mutually exclusive (they shouldn't be), but for productivity junkies it's a good tip to plan time for spontaneity :)
I like the draw boundaries tip. Spontaneity on my credit balance is not appreciated :D

Refreshing! Love it! Although it's not very spontaneous, I'm a big fan of penciling it in! :)

Excellent post, and good timing too. It's easy to get caught in full, head-down, GTD mode, especially in the month of "resolutions."

Spontaneous led me to buy an acoustic guitar and play it once. Spontaneous got me to sign up for Tae Kwon Do classes. I paid $625 and went exactly three times. :( On the whole spontaneous is great, except for the lazy. Oh wait, that's not spontaneous. That's impulsive. My bad. Great post!

Being intentionally spontaneous is hardly being spontaneous anymore.

NO! It's:
"Don’t sweat the petty stuff, pet the sweaty stuff."

I had never considered being uninhabited! Loneliness could be a problem.

“Spontaneous- Of a person having an open, natural, and uninhabited mannerâ€Â
UNINHABITED? Maybe you meant uninhibited?

I can never seem to find the time to be spontaneous unless I plan it out in advance. =============================== I am Coco, a very sexy plus size woman. "TxFunChick1" is my handle at the bbw chat club "bigpersonal.com". Catch me there to find more about me and my videos.

"uninhabited" ?; I'm sure you mean "uninhibited" - surely there is someone living there behind the spontaneity.
