Alan Lakein on Goal Setting and Planning
You cannot do a goal. Long-term planning and goal-setting must therefore be complemented by short-term planning. This kind of planning requires specifying activities. You can do an activity. Activities are steps along the way to a goal. Let's say you desire security. Putting $10.00 in the bank or talking to your stockbroker about your investment plans are activities that will move you toward your goal.
Failing to plan is planning to fail.
Planning is bringing the future into the present so that you can do something about it now.
