Word-Of-the-Week #1067: Planning
January 30, 2025 by Susan Clarke
Planning – the process of deciding in detail how to do something before actually starting to do it.
How often do you think about your future? How easy is it for you to make plans?
This just in from, Steve Straus, author of STEVE’S 3-MINUTE COACHING, is a perfect follow-up to last week’s WOW.
Quote: Planning
(Quotes are capsules of information, reinforcement, or enlightenment.)
“Thinking seriously about the future can be a worthwhile exercise, not because the future is knowable but because the process is likely to make us wiser.”
Tim Harford – Economist
“In preparing for battle I have always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable.”
Dwight D. Eisenhower – General
“Plan beats no plan almost every time.”
Sen. Elissa Slotkin
Coaching Point: The process of planning is more important than the plan it produces.
Thinking about what we may want for a future outcome. Trying the future on to see how it fits. And how it attracts us.
Considering alternatives and options that could expand the future beyond our original thoughts. Attracting us even more.
The energy and clarity of purpose you radiate on your journey attract others to assist you.
Follow the advice of the above folks. You will have better, richer, and more satisfying outcomes.
“Plan beats no plan…”
“…not because the future is knowable…”
“…planning is indispensable.”
