“We consider our plans for the day.” (Page 86, Big Book)
Having asked God to direct my thinking, I do this, namely consider the day and its plans. This means casting the light around the situation, the circumstances, anything within sight, to devise what to do today and how to do it.
Imagine the rotating light of the lighthouse.
This should be a relaxed affair.
Slow, unhurried, systematic.
If pressed for time, one really can simply make a list and be done with it.
But there is a value in letting thoughts arise and be dealt with by God, reframed, redirected, repackaged, and reused as the raw material for actions and ideals.
This should not be rushed. One’s done when one is done.
