# Daily Inspiration: “Organize your life around the idea of spontaneous serendipity – don’t plan, but react and adapt!”

*“Organize your life around the idea of spontaneous serendipity – don’t plan, but react and adapt!”* – Futurist Jim Carroll

I can be hopelessly disorganized at some things, but ruthlessly creative in the engine of my mind. I might have challenges planning what I might need to be doing 20 minutes from now because I’m too busy thinking about what might happen 20 years from now.

The life of a futurist is sometimes spent in a different time zone, and so we need some forgiveness on the fact that we lack most basic organizational skills!’
