Schedule, shmedule

I just finished the schedule for the YFM retreat tomorrow.  It got me thinking about the power of a schedule.  Once it's on the paper, it look so solid.

The thing is that I've done so many retreats and camps that I know this outline for our time together isn't going to survive.  It won't be on track for the first few hours, much less the whole retreat.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of scheduling.  It certainly helps meet objectives (one of our objectives is hang out together, and we had to schedule a retreat to do that!) and keeps us focused on our goal.

I guess I'm just struck as I look at it on paper by how powerful that little outline can be, and how fragile.
