There is merit in planning. It creates order, priority selection and avoids duplication. One minute of planning can equal twenty minutes of execution!

However, rigid planning without acting on intuition or capturing an opportunity, which could be more important than what was originally planned, can also limit your success.

So how does one perform the balancing act between planning and going with the flow?

Make your weekly plans, execute them daily. However, allow some flex time in your plans so that you can capture a more important opportunity if it presents itself, or tend to an intuitive feeling that may spring up on you!
