Some of us may see planners for college students, or for business people. But Planning your life has huge benefits.

The more I learn, the more I realize that life is like a chess match. You have to strategize to beat your opponent. In real life, you probably don't want to "Beat" everyone. So put the baseball bat down!

But using planning and strategy can enable you to easily get what you want!
Whether it's from people Or your work life.
If aren't very social, And you decide to ask your boss for a raise just out of the blue. Do you think you'd be successful?
Chances are probably not.

But if you planned out what you were going to say.
Assumed what they could say in return, Then plan your response after that, You are more likely to get what you want.
Why?
Because you practiced, You'll walk in confident.
Your boss doesn't know what your about to say, But you do. You don't know exactly how your boss is going to respond. But you can potentially guess, And plan for it. Then execute your predetermined response. Which will throw him/her off guard? They didn't have a chance to plan for this conversation. So your going to have an advantage.

Sometimes before I'm going to call someone out on something, I try and come up with ways to nicely tell them. But firmly. That way I can get the changes I want, Without burning a bridge.

We All know that Acting out of emotions can sometimes hurt us!

Planning before hand helps eliminate the possibility. Many break-ups happen in an emotional state. Those people sometimes get back together because they didn't mean to end the relationship. Sometimes you may get so angry at your boss you yell and quit.
When you neeeded to keep the job.

Sure, Life throws randomness at us. And we can't possibly plan for everything. But we can plan a lot of things.

Don't take it too far though

Sometimes we get so worked up by things we THINK will happen that we lose our minds over it. By planning, You shouldn't go to this extent. Planning is used as a tool to PREDICT POSSIBLE outcomes.
This creates unrealistic EXPECTATIONS. That no matter how much planning we do, Those people will never hit those expectations.
So use it wisely.

Planning Can Help Us Structure our day

Would you go on a vacation without any planning?
Probably not.
So what makes every other day different? By making a plan on what you want to accomplish for the day, You are more likely to get those things that you want to be done.
