I am the type of person who likes to plan things before I do them, I do not like to jump into things without thinking first, Planning is very important to me because it gives me peace of mind, i want to know what could happen and what could go wrong, i also want to know what I need to do if things do not go the way I expect.
I like to have a plan for everything, for small things, It does not have to be a big deal but I like to know what I am doing and when I am doing it, i also like to know how I am going to do it, Planning makes me feel more comfortable, i like to know what to expect, i do not like to hope that everything works out on its own, see ehn planning just gives me peace of mind, that is why planning is essential, to me.
I think the reason I am like this is because life can be very unpredictable, things can go wrong so easily, and when you don’t plan, you can end up stressed, confused, or unprepared, I hate that feeling of being caught off guard, so I always try to think ahead, even if it is something simple like going somewhere, I’m already thinking about what time I should leave, what I should wear, what I need to take with me, and what could happen if there is traffic or delay.
A lot of people are very good at just going with the flow, and honestly I admire that sometimes because it looks less stressful, they can just make decisions in the moment and not overthink too much, meanwhile, I can be there thinking about every little detail before I even start, but at the end of the day, I still feel like planning works better for me because it helps me avoid unnecessary mistakes.
For example, if I have an important event, test, meeting, or even just something I really care about, I will definitely prepare ahead, i don’t like last minute pressure because it makes me panic, I would rather do things early, think about possible problems, and already have solutions in mind before they happen, planning also helps me stay organized,.when I know what I want to do, it is easier for me to focus and not get distracted, i feel like without a plan, I would just be all over the place, I would probably forget important things or waste too much time trying to figure things out later.
At the same time though, I know that too much planning can also become stressful, sometimes you can overthink so much that you end up worrying about things that may never even happen , I have noticed that about myself too, there are times when I plan too much, and if things don’t go exactly the way I imagined, I get frustrated, so I think there has to be balance.
Even if I like planning, I am slowly learning that not everything in life will always go according to plan,sometimes things change unexpectedly, and you just have to adjust, so while I still believe planning is important, I also think it is good to leave a little room for flexibility overall, I would say planning works best for me, i like paying attention to details, thinking ahead, and being prepared because it makes me feel more in control, I am not really the “just go with the flow and hope for the best” type of person, I would rather know what I am doing than just guess my way through things.
