Off track loves small surprises ... a meeting that runs long, a ride that takes longer, or a meal that drags on. This episode helps you build backup plans you’ll actually use so surprises don’t become big problems.
What You’ll Learn
- Why Plan A keeps breaking: it depends on perfect timing, full batteries, and cooperative humans; real life laughs at that.
- 60‑Second Go‑Bag: grab a small bag and spend 60 seconds tossing in fast carbs you will actually eat, a pen or syringe or backup infusion set, a spare adhesive or strip, and a mini battery or charger.
- Two‑Location Stash: duplicate bare‑minimum supplies in two places you already use (car console and desk drawer, or gym bag and nightstand) so you’re never without.
Tiny Levers
Choose one lever for the next seven days:
- 60‑Second Go‑Bag: Build a micro‑kit with the essentials and toss it in your bag.
- Two‑Location Stash: Place duplicates of your essentials in two spots you frequent.
Take Action
Build one backup this week. Either assemble your go‑bag or set up your two‑location stash and see how much calmer surprises feel.
