Planning – Understanding Tradeoffs

The efficacy of planning is revealed in contrasts.  Consider this:


– The need: “A goal without a plan is just a wish.” ~ Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

– All in: Paralysis by analysis – “You can’t plow a field simply by turning it over in your mind.” ~ Gordon B. Hinckley

– All out: I’m a great believer in spontaneity because I think planning is the most destructive thing in the world. ~John Cassavetes

– Optimum: “A violent plan executed today is better than a perfect plan next week.” ~ Patton
