I believe that these days we are living with a great deal of randomness, and we truly lack planning, patience, and proper data organization. We are living in a very fast-paced era, and as a result, proper planning requires time. Ignoring this fact and trying to move quickly without any form of planning or consideration leads us into complete chaos and this, in turn, leads to a significantly higher chance of failure.
There is always a probability for success and a probability for failure, but we notice that in recent times, the rate of failure has far exceeded that of success. The natural rate of achievement has become very low, and I came to this conclusion after spending some time with myself in reflection. I realized that the main cause is the absence of proper planning and the lack of thorough feasibility studies for anything we attempt to do. Nowadays, developing a good plan and planning carefully for anything you want to achieve has become a fundamental factor in reaching success.
If you're in a field with high competition, having a clear plan and a list of the things you want to accomplish gives you an advantage over many competitors who operate without awareness or understanding of what’s going on around them. Planning also saves you time and helps you avoid the unknown as an unknown that often requires money and a lot of hard mental effort to overcome.
Good planning isn't just important for work, but also for studying, relationships, and almost every aspect of life. Entering any field or endeavor without proper study and with a random approach is a huge gamble. The more randomness there is, the higher the likelihood of loss and the greater the risk of missing opportunities for success and achievement.
Personally, I’ve found that the best way to plan is through writing creating a list of the things I want to do, and setting priorities first, followed by the less important tasks. This helps in achieving those goals more realistically. Setting difficult goals and having too many priorities can lead to doing nothing at all, which eventually reduces your chances of accomplishment and makes everything more overwhelming. However, in the end, as long as you start planning, your chances of success increase.
