Anyone else got kids who spend half of a car journey asking “how long till we get there?”

Mine do.

Two of them particularly.

Always have done.

So I often put the destination into Sat Nav even when I don’t need it.

If they ask, I just point at the ETA on the Sat Nav.

And, I assume, they must remember to check that without my prompt sometimes.

I even pop it on the school run for them (it is a 51 mile round trip – for those two anyway).

Over the Cat and Fiddle (the Macclesfield to Buxton road).

Which, those that have driven over it will know, is rather windy (in both uses of that word).

Sometimes you can see on Sat Nav that you’re actually facing, and going, in completely the wrong direction.

Because Sat Nav knows that the shortest straight line route is never the quickest one.

Not when you crash into a wall, get stuck in a field, etc.

No – the quickest progress is usually a wiggly line back and forth but moving in the right direction, on average, over time.

Like with most things.

Including improvements to our health, fitness, mood, energy levels, etc.

The plan that tries to take us in a straight line as fast as possible, usually doesn’t get us there.

Drastic, wholesale changes that are pretty much the exact opposite of what we’ve been doing before.

We do the equivalent of driving into that wall or field.

Then ‘going home’.

And planning on “starting again” at some point in the near future.

Manageable changes…….

That we maintain……….

That we may speed up and slow down with as circumstance dictates………

That sometimes involve a bit of “two steps forward, one step back” (and then the next two steps forward)………..

But that we keep going with, on average………..

Get us there more consistently and reliably.
