...although the urge at this point is to rush, rush, rush, to get it all done, experience tells me to work with urgency but be methodical. I call it the Zen approach to event planning. Understanding that every component has a special importance and function is the key, as is realizing that all these components are for a common goal, thus there is a relationship between elements that shouldn't be ignored.
