Learn Proper Planning

As soon as we hear the word planning, we get nostalgic and all those moments come into picture when we tried to plan our schedule by writing down our daily activity on a paper and preparing a time table sticking it onto the wall. But that note has vanished long back and tried it many a time and finally a conclusion "Planning never works". Now would you mind taking a chill pill and listen to what i say and get back from your thoughts. :-) Well, there are few flaws in which we plan our work and studies which inturn make us feel insufficient and feel that we are unfit for the term planning. But before you completely believe that, we should discuss facts of how you could be best in planning.

Frankly speaking planning becomes easy with right planning. Confused?? No wonder. Why do we fail to plan properly? It is because when we want to plan on our schedule, we tend to make plan with high expectations and due to which we wont be able to keep up to those expections for more than two days and slowly we move out and the plan crashes. The problem here that we should notice is that we are not able to adjust that sudden transition from our comfortable daily life to a sudden highly planned life and that results in failure.

The actual transition to a planned life should happen in a series of slow transitional steps. We should first make an attempt to memorize our plan for few days. We need not follow our plan immediately as soon as we plan, but we should try to memorize the plan accordingly. For example, John has planned in his schedule that he would work on his homework for 3hours from 6:30PM to 9:30PM, now he doesn't immediately start practicing it, instead he slowly tries to memorize the plan by reminding himself when the time is 6:30 and slowly starts with his books by 8:00 and this time gap reduces slowly. The advantage here we should notice with this type of planning is that he is still in his comfort zone and is slowly moving towards the planned zone.

Once we keep memorizing our plans, we would have that fear and our mind constantly reminding us about the plan and slowly we get used to the plan and then make it a habit. The key point here is that we should follow the proverb "Slow and steady wins the race". This might seem confusing or wierd to some of you, but if you would try planning your life this way we could adapt to any kind of life. It becomes a kind of habit and we'll start liking it. Now after we have learnt to plan our planning, we must now talk about actual planning.

Once we have adjusted ourselves to a particular plan, we should then get serious with the plan as it has now become your habit. It is ok to relax our plans and work for a day in a week so that we don't feel stressed up by the planned schedule. This helps in making us feel the difference and reduces any kind of stress due to planning. Hence we should each make our proper planning and stick to it. So now i would like you people to try these out with small things instead of big ones so that you could observe fruitful results.
