Planning is setting a course of related actions required to reach a goal by writing, visualizing or paying mindful attention to the next course of action.
Research shows that people who plan their whole life live longer than those who don't. They understand the risk of putting their resources, energy, time and money on the line. They are also prepared for the risk of life more than those who don't have a plan. Without a plan for the future, everything overwhelm the mind, from the cost of transport to the cost of gas to basic necessities and dealing with family issues and the cost of food. No one love dealing with what they never prepare for, especially crisis. Those who are prepared feel the impact the least..
You must have a plan for the use of your time, lest you do things that are not required to reach your goals. A plan for the use of your money, lest you are broke all the time. A plan for the use of your knowledge, A plan for the use of your resources, lest you waste them often.
It's better to be prepared for an opportunity and not have one than to be have an opportunity and not be prepared for it. Opportunity never prepared for may not be recognized or may be missed.
Within a plan, there must be in it what to do if the plan didn't work out. That's how genius in crisis survive the crisis. Not all plans work out good. According to MAN, 802 notable and prosperous companies fold up in the last 9 years in Nigeria. Investors will surely be in crisis if there is no plan for plan not working out. Good planners understand that, not all plans work and the price of commodities are not stable and people are unpredictable in patronizing. You can predict but your prediction maybe right or wrong.
Achievers know when to quit, when to pick up a new plan, and when to go a new direction. If a goal no longer resonate with you anymore, it's not useful, trash it. Whenever I look at my 5 years old plans, I can't imagine I set such dumb goals. I've grown, I've evolved.
On the trip to life, go with plans. Plans save time, energy & resources. I got into trouble multiple times without a plan or ignoring the plan for hurry sake. 🙄
