THE POWER OF PLANNING, 4.


"A good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow." - George S. Patton
 

The way we spend our time is because we choose to spend it that way; there is nothing we do without choice. Although our choices might not always be deliberate or penned down. We have the choice to work or not. To write the report or not. We have the choice, to take the phone call or ignore it. However, each choice is based upon a reward; to be received or anticipated.

Rewards are what we expect to gain from undertaking, or postponing a certain task. If you didn’t receive rewards, you would not continue that behaviour.

One night four college students played till late night, hence did not study for their test scheduled for the following morning. In the morning they thought up a plan. They'd make themselves look dirty with grease and dirt. So, in the morning, they went up to the Dean, and told him how they'd gone for a wedding the night before, and on their way back the tire of their car burst and they had to hurl by themselves, all the way back and that they were in no condition to appear for the test.

THE GIFT OF A DAY (24); BE WISE, PLAN

"Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing." -
Thomas A. Edison


Be Wise, Plan
It's almost impossible to achieve anything significant without planning. You don't just happen on success, you plan to succeed, that's why we usually say, "if you fail to plan, you've planned to fail." Focus on your goals after drawing them up! You plan better with a goal, and you know your destination better with a plan. When we pre-plan a destination and then you set off, you'll most assuredly get to your destination, If you however fail to have a destination you'll still get there; a different destination actually!

To maximize your day, check out a few ideas.
