I love to plan!! Whether it stems from my career as a military officer or is something much more innate in my personality, I don't know, but I love to plan! I revel in the research of how others have "accomplished the mission." I pore over periodicals that detail the best approach, equipment and timelines. I am fascinated be the finest details of achieving my goals. Don't get me wrong, I'm not one of those people who enjoys the planning more than the doing. Neither do I become a slave to my plan once I have it. What I love is the thinking of planning. While often in the doing, the plan goes to @#&!, it is the process of planning that allows me to thrust and parry (my former fencer husband should appreciate that) in real time to succeed. In planning I think of possibilities and alternatives. I envision how I will respond to change and circumstance. Planning actually increases flexibility -- and flexibility and adaptability are critical to success. I love to plan!
Snowman Training Notes: A migraine interrupted my training day today (strength training). I'll be at the gym tomorrow (my scheduled off day). I have a plan, and I can adapt to prevent a total derailment.
Thought for the day: In preparing for battle I have always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable. -Eisenhower
