When time gets tight we fall into the trap of believing that we don’t need to take extra time to plan, because, of course, we’re REALLY busy.
Never forget that planning isn’t something we do as a leisurely pursuit. It is valuable and it acts as a force multiplier in the work we do.
When we have a good plan, we can attack our day and know exactly what needs to be done and when it needs to be done.
This will help us manage our time and understand exactly what work needs to be done. When we know exactly what needs to be done, we procrastinate less and we stress out less.
Planning is important and it’s ALWAYS worth setting aside 10-15 minutes at the end of your day to lay out the next day of work.
