Make a plan.
Prepare then Execute.
But it's interesting to note that those are somewhat opposing forces.
Sometimes they work together...
But inherently...
Planning prevents executing...
And executing requires you to stop planning.
Success seems to lean heavily toward executing and planning is sometimes not required at all.
It's very hard to plan for something you haven't done yet...
And once you've done it...
The time for planning has usually passed.
People will often say to "go with the flow"...
But planning is more like building a dam than riding a wave.
Maybe "winging it" isn't always the best way...
But maybe sometimes it is.
