By You know your life is going to be different from today to tomorrow, right? That’s why planning for tomorrow doesn’t mean you should make plans for yesterday.
Well, I’m not here to tell you that. You’re here to learn the skills you need to grow your business, and that is going to take time. I know how to do this because I spent 13 days on a trip to the beach with my wife and 3 small children. I had a lot of stress and no time to plan, but I managed. If we had used my phone for the 13 days, I think we would have gone down with the ship.
The point is that you can’t really just make a plan for tomorrow. You have to plan in advance. We all have a schedule, and we have to take it into account. But you can’t just say you’re going to work from 9 to 5, and then on Friday you’re going to go out to the grocery store and spend 1.5 hours. You don’t have to make your plans last forever.
It’s really nice to see people make a plan, but it’s nice to have a plan too. And the point is also not to plan for a bunch of unforeseen circumstances. I think the point is that we should have a plan. We should have a schedule. If we don’t have a schedule, then we should think about what we want to accomplish going forward. Then we should make a plan.
The point of a schedule is to make it permanent. So if you plan to come back tomorrow, you should make a plan to come back tomorrow. That way, you wont forget to come back tomorrow.
What happens to a schedule, and a plan, when you’re not on it? It’s easy to get lost in the details of many of these things, but in the long term, the important thing is to have a plan and a schedule. It’s the best way to make sure that you don’t forget what you’re doing so that you can take it back when you have time to reflect.
It really is that easy. That and the fact that life is a series of steps, right? So, that means that our schedules have to be set up, in order to make them permanent. That also means that our lives must be planned, in order to get from A to B, which means we have to plan our lives.
Okay, so now I’m going to say something to you that I had to say to myself at least once. I want to make a point that if you want to succeed in life, you have to be a planner. I want you to get into the habit of putting your life together in a way that you are able to move forward in a way that is fulfilling.
For many, it takes a lot of planning to get good at anything. Maybe you’re interested in the field of fashion design, or you want to be a writer, or you want to become a doctor. But you have to plan your life to make it happen. This is the first thing I want to tell you. I want to give you an example of just how much it takes planning to get good at something.
One day I was in the middle of making a dress for my friend Marnie’s wedding. I sat down to make it, and I started to think about what I wanted it to look like. I didn’t want to be too fancy, and I didn’t want to be too simple. I wanted it to be a pretty dress, with little ruffles in the back of the skirt. I wanted it to look simple.
