The Plan is Not the Goal (Thinks Out Loud Episode 282) — Headlines and Show Notes

We live in interesting times. And, at the moment, that's not a Good Thing™. Covid-19 has thrown everyone's plans for this year seriously into disarray. But, despite the difficulties, that's OK. Why? Because plans aren't important. Goals are. As science fiction author John Scalzi wrote, "The plan is not the goal. The goal is the goal." Right now, it's important you get clear on your goals for the coming days, weeks, months, and quarter, so that you can adapt your plans as the situation changes. Is your goal for the coming days to survive, thrive, or something else altogether? Because once you're clear on your goals, you put yourself in a better position to reach them.

This episode of Thinks Out Loud looks at why "the plan is not the goal" in more detail and offers some insights into how to make those goals work for you in a time of crisis.
