In my younger days, I operated with a careless disregard for planning. I believed that I could remember all my commitments without writing them down, and that diving head-first into work was sufficient. This approach, I thought, allowed for spontaneity, as if not wanting to constrict my activities within rigid frames.
Now, my perspective has shifted. I've come to appreciate the weight of a well-devised plan. While the tasks at hand may remain unchanged whether one plans or not, the quality of the outcome seems to differ significantly. There are two aspects of quality to consider: the quality of the final product and the quality of the process. Working without a plan tends to introduce variability into both, stealing peace of mind and diluting the focus that could otherwise be laser-sharp.
In conclusion, planning offers a much-needed counterbalance to the chaos. Even if plans require adjustments down the road, having a roadmap offers a mirror—a way to compare intentions against reality. It leads to a more harmonious working experience and, perhaps more importantly, it allows us to confront reality in a constructive manner. Struggles with planning often stem from a reluctance to face the real world, a sentiment I can relate to. However, it's through such confrontations that we can bring our internal worlds to life.
