Like anything, preparing takes some time and thought. Start today by looking at your schedule and deciding on a time you will be able to prioritize your emergency preparedness. If you have no preference, choose Monday morning or Monday evening. (I’ve found that if you want something done, Monday is a winner). Do not become overwhelmed. It does not even require an hour. Plan at least 20 minutes to do SOMETHING each week on your preparedness. Even if you only think about it, those thoughts will eventually lead to action.
If you are too busy one week, just come back to it. Don’t let an immediate need go neglected because of your plan, but don’t let your plan always be neglected, either. Just keep coming back to it. If you do your plan even 80% of the time you will move mountains a teaspoon at a time. But, if you find it is almost never happening, reschedule: pick a different day or decide on which activities you can and will sacrifice to make this path of peace a priority.

Every little mood I’m in
colors every place I’ve been.
Spilling paint and splashing tints
imagination’s subtle hints
of what fortunes soon will come
pretending that it’s already done.
Tomorrows will all be like yesterday
painted in the very same way.
On they’ll go and on and on
drudging on as they’ve begun,
and hope bleeds out like runny ink,
and I won’t notice unless I think.
The paint for tomorrow is in my hand
the canvas white, clear on it’s stand.
The colors will be fresh, the picture new.
It might be green, or pink, or blue.

All the past,
my own
along with all who have ever lived,
every discovery,
every word written,
every whisper of legacy
whether good or bad
converges
into
one purpose:
To help me
live now
and
succeed beautifully
in the present,
one living moment
at a time.
