“I Don’t Have Time to Make a Plan!”
Have you ever felt like you were so behind on your work that you didn’t have time to plan?
Planning is like exercising – the more you do it, the better you feel and the more you get done.
When busy people take time out to exercise they become more productive. Exercising actually SAVES them time.
And it’s the same way with planning. By taking a little time each evening to play your next day, you become more productive and less stressed. In fact, people who plan report they are generally happier and sleep better than people who don’t plan.
Plan how you’re going to spend your time in advance, and you’ll get stuff done. Just wing it as you go along and you’ll invite chaos, stress and missed deadlines.
But don’t take my word for it. Here are quotes to help you get more stuff done through planning:
