Plans, strategies, and systems are all synonyms for ways to achieve particular goals. They describe for us a line of action that helps us move from point A to point B. Planning can seem stifling and restrictive, but many are falling off for a lack of it. Because the world itself revolves around rules and principles, it only makes sense that you find a system that works for you. It is safer to plan than to leave things to chance. Even the worst of plans is better than the best of chance. Even chance prefers a prepared beneficiary.
