As per usual there is a lot to think about in the James Clear email this week.  I tend to gravitate to things that seem applicable at the time.
This week there are a number of things I am thinking about right now, but I have gravitated to what I am writing about, as it is front and centre right now.  “Some projects benefit from early action. If you're writing a book, it's easy to spend a lot of time brainstorming titles and dreaming up an outline, but it's better to simply write. The book discovers itself as you go. Yes, you'll need to go back and organize things, but this is easier to do once you have material. The key is to act first and then organize your thinking.
Other projects benefit from early planning. The best way to build a skyscraper is to plan carefully. If you start placing steel beams on day one, you're guaranteed to run into problems. It is harder to make changes once you've begun. You'll need to tear it down and start over again. The key is to organize your thinking and then act.
Do you need early action or early planning?"
This makes sense to me and may seem obvious in the saying, but it is really obvious to me in the doing.
Right now I have been working on a project I felt needed early action.  I felt I could plan forever, and no one would be the better for it.  Or I could act, perhaps in some ways inadequately, but what is needed would be available.  I could correct as I went. 
That is not to say no planning went into what I had to do.  It was necessary, but I feel better having something out there that can be made better as I go.
As he says some projects benefit big time from early planning while others benefit as I go along.  The important thing to me is just to get it out there.

I thought I would do something different this time.  It is dictionary day again.  But this time instead of looking up the meaning of the word I would write what I think and see how close I am.
The word my finger fell on was Vulgate.  Now Vulgate is very close to Vulgar.  Because it starts with a capital it is probably saying this is serious.  I reckon it is the gate used to get into like the Vulgar paddock if someone is wanting to find it.
Gate implies access.  T is not far beyond R in the alphabet, so obviously the words are closely related.  A person would have not long ago done the r’s and come across vulgar and then after having seen Vulgas (which I believe is a river in Russia) come to Vulgate. 
The fact there is an additional e I can see right through.  The e is designed to throw me off the track.   As though the words are not related at all.  But I know it is really saying to be vulgar I need to access it through the vulgate.
Not that I really want to go there.  This is like an “if” scenario.  Like should I want to be patient I need to access it through the patgate.
I reckon the gate is the key.  I access kindness through the kingate or if I seek gentleness it is like through the gentlgate.
This is easy.  I reckon I have got this.
But the moment of truth has arrived.  Am I right?  I say the word Vulgate means to get into the Vulgar paddock. 
Hmmm close – maybe in some parallel universe. “Latin version of the Bible prepared mainly by St Jerome in the 4th century.”
But the explanation was made up of letters and mine was too, so I got that right.  It was also in English, as was my explanation. (I am trying to stay positive here).  I got to be honest here and say that more and more it is like Maxwell Smart says, “missed it by THAT much.”
Oh well.  I tried.

I saw another side of life.  It is weird, but I hear about it and see in on the news but to talk to someone in their environment doing it is an eye opener.
It is not something I do regularly, but I was doing it for another who could not on this occasion.  I took some meals to someone living in a tent because they could not afford and did not have ready access to a home.
I am a wuss I know, but I needed to learn how to use a microwave I had never been exposed to before.  Such a first world problem.  Fortunately help was available in the form of someone who has prepared banquets for many.  It did not take long, and I had what I needed for the delivery.
Next was the challenge of finding the place.  I got mixed up with the directions and ended up heading away from the place.  I realized my mistake and found a place to turn around.  I had one more wrong turn into a housing park.  It did not look like the place I was after, so I again did a uturn.
This time I did some driving and found the place.  Signs saying what I was looking for helped.  That was a first timers’ error and I know where it is now.
I saw a tent sent up.  It was actually three tents.  I saw someone exercising a dog so I walked up and declared who I was looking for.  It was the right place.  Someone else they knew had set up a tent near them for security.
It was talking to the person that opened my eyes.    
It was a nice set up but not the place of choice.  They had registered with the council and as long as they are on council land they are free to stay there if they do not mess up the place.  They were not going to do that.
I really felt for them.  They are not slack, and doing all they can to get employment and get out of the current situation.  It seems to me unfortunately those with the power are captive to greed.  I personally would not like to have to buy a home or rent at the moment.  It seems so much is exorbitant and the problem is growing.
They were incredibly grateful for what they got. 
I got into my car, and am thankful that I am me and not in their shoes right now.
