At one time or another, we all feel the pressure of a time crunch. A project is due, an activity must be completed, there’s a meeting to attend, and the day is just beginning. It’s tempting to simply decide to move forward — ready, fire, aim.

But by spending a few minutes planning what needs to be done, the activities will not only go more smoothly, but more effectively. Spend some time at the end of your day to determine what will need to be done the following day. Visualize the activity and results you’re looking for.

In a recent blog post, Lee Phillips discusses the value of planning. His focus is on planning and being prepared for future events. By thinking in this way, you can accomplish more in a limited amount of time — and can feel comfortable that the work won’t need to be revamped because it wasn’t done correctly the first time.

While it’s important to take action, it’s also important to take the right action. Make a list or chart to track your progress, and stay focused on the end result. Planning is always a good use of time.
