To plan or not to plan

It's always better to plan things ahead of time. Because you get to prepare for important things, like if you will need to go out of town... you better be prepared and all. Otherwise you'll end up crazily packing up things. But when going out, like just to watch a movie or go some place to hang out. I still like to plan. But I noticed that it don;t happen most of the time. Just like when we planned to watch a movie last Friday and it didn't happen. So until I was left here wondering when are we gonna watch that movie It can be so frustrating especially if I was so into the mood of watching that movie. And suddenly my friends says, hmmm I can't come... I really just wanna kick their a$$e$! But they're my friends so anyway... I just have to force them to come with me.

Hello my friend. i think it is still necessary to plan ahead.however, it depends on what activity or endeavor you are going to dive in. if it is a very important activity related to your work, then planning ahead will really help.remember the saying that if you fail to plan, then you are planning to fail.on the other hand, if you are planning for a get together just like what you said, sometimes being spontaneous is much more worthwhile and enjoyable than being so deliberate and scripted.

I agree with this as it happens to us- i mean me and my friends. Really irritating but a bit funny to think of. I myself don't understand it hehe why it happens. Thats why its better not to plan the gimiks or outing sometimes so everybody will come or so that it will push through. Well if its a big event of course its hould be well plane ahead of time. Happy mylotting!

I have to make plans because I have a child. There is no just getting up and going out with friends. I do find it frustrating that I take the time to make plans for people to change them or to just cancel.

If you take a long trip. it is better to plan. For everyday fun, don't.

I just try not to plan way too much and enjoy my days and now. Expect good things no matter what you are planning to do. And just live instead of wasting too much time planning. Have fun! :)

When I plan to go out something happens like rain. Therefore I have a better time if I wake up and feel like a lovely day out. I went to the pier and saw a friend. She asked me and my kids to sit with her. We had a great chat before the fireworks began. The fireworks against the sea was amazing. I hadn't planned to meet up with her but did so and it was an excellent evening. I used to plan my trips overseas in great detail but now I have more fun with doing what I like when there. Four days turned into eight nights in a stunning looking city you see.

for adventure, i like not planning at all. but for formal activities, planning is necessary. planning itself can be fun. well, the adventure of not having a plan is a truism. one does not have to plan if one is after adventure and fun. anything that sounds fun is done. consequences will follow whether we like it or not.

It actually depends on what event to plan. If it's something very important and that it must fall on the very date, then plans are necessary for the activity to become successful. But contradictory to it, if it's a weekend getaway or a trip that can take place at another time, then based on my experiences, it is always better to become spontaneous with it and just prepare for the needed items to be brought and go with the flow once you're with your significant others. I agree with you that with unplanned activities, they usually are more of a success than the planned ones. ;) Take care and God bless!
