I have never been very good at planning, and as a consequence have never really wanted to do it and I put it off continually. When I do do it I find that I am very prone to actually doing work rather than planning work.
It is so tempting to just do stuff. After all if I could just get everything done I would have some time free to do some planning. That is what my inner voice tells me.
So the first thing I must do is get focused. Set aside time to plan and actually use it to plan and nothing else. I am sure there is a lot of art to planning and that if I can master the skill I can save myself a lot of time and mental anguish. But I have to be realistic about where I am. My first objective is very simple. I need to spend at least 30 minutes and preferably 1 hour a day planning. And I have to use that time to actually plan. And the first objective of that planning is simply to make sure I know what it is I have to do next.
I can work out the details as I go along.
