My wife turns to me most mornings with the words, “What’s our plan for today?” Like my wife and me, most people probably start their days with some kind of plan.
Plans are generally helpful. I spent several years as a stay-at-home dad; I know from experience that things generally don’t get done in a home without some form of planning.
In the business world, planning is an integral aspect of management training. Personnel are trained to plan campaigns and activities as well as to plan future finances by making budgetary projections.
