Planning is important for three key reasons: 1. Planning saves time and resources by avoiding mistakes and helping focus efforts on the most important objectives. When you fail to plan, you are planning to fail. 2. Developing a plan through critical analysis allows you to identify flaws, weaknesses, and potential issues that could hinder achieving your goals. 3. Proper planning helps uncover strengths, opportunities, and the most effective course of action towards accomplishing your goals in the most efficient way possible.

1. It is a proven fact that for every minute you spend in planning, you
save 10 minutes in execution.This saves you time, money, energy
and you are able to accomplish your goals faster. Hence, the
saying, “When you fail to plan, you plan to fail.”

When you have a plan, you can
thoroughly discuss it and evaluate it. This
allows you to know the flaws and errors
in the plan. These flaws and errors may
be a major hindrance in achieving your
goals on the long run. One simple to start
your analysis is by asking the “what if”
question. For example, “what are the
possible issues if a specific action is
taken rather than an alternative one?
With planning, you are forced to
organize your thoughts, and identify
any problem that may prevent you
from being successful.

When you organize your thoughts,
you develop a plan of action towards
accomplishing your goals. This
saves you time, money and energy
especially in managing people.
#2
Apart from errors in the plan, the plan
might also be weak. Thus, analyzing
the plan should reveal the weakness
of the plan and adequately make the
correction. It is possible for you to
identify a weakness that could have
led to the failure of the plan.
#4
When you plan, you focus your time,
energy and resources on the most
important objectives that will lead to
success. But when your focus lack
clarity, your efforts are scattered and
you will rarely accomplish anything
worthwhile.
#6#5
Proper planning can help you to
identify opportunities of strengths
and potential. Thus, improving your
chances of success. Most times, if
you don’t go through this process,
you may not be aware that there are
strengths or opportunities within a
situation.
#7
With a proper plan, you avoid hours, weeks, or even months of
confusion, mistakes and losses (this can be in terms of money and
energy). Put simply, a plan is a list of actions in a step-by-step format
to accomplish a specific task, goal, or objective.
