Imagine your day (or life[time}) as empty plate (or page).

When hungry (both physical, psychological, spiritual-to fill your soul and heart - a tangible and metaphorical idea-concept) ... what ingredients would you assemble (forage for, gather), to make a wholesome, satisfying meal? 

How will you match, combine, blend, process, cook these ingredients, by instinct or following a recipe (following traditions, or [professional] [culinary] science)?

How does this thought experiment inform how you plan and 'live' a day (and your life)?

Recipe example (for your day, or life):
