Organized Planning

A plan may be simply described as one’s intention to do something. It provides a guide for what you intend to achieve. When you put up realistic methods and procedures on how you will go about achieving your intention, your plan could be said to be organized. That means you do not just have a plan but you know how the plan will come alive.

Important points to Note about Plans

·         If you are engaged in an undertaking of some crucial importance, ensure that you have an almost faultless plan in order to be sure of success

·         You must have the advantage of education, experience and native ability to execute your plan

·         If the first plan which you have adopted does not seem to work out successfully, replace that with a new plan. If this new plan also fails to achieve the desired result, replace it in turn with another until you find a plan which will work!

·         The most intelligent man living cannot succeed in any endeavor without plans which are workable and practicable

Bear in mind that when your plans fail, the temporary defeat does not imply a perfect failure, it simply means that your plan was not good enough to achieve your intended purpose; then begin to work on your plans all over again. Often times a lot of people meet failure due to lack of persistence in creating new plans replace those plans that did not work

Organized panning means that the planner knows where he is going and he has a map on how to get there. It also means that if for any reason that map fails to guide him correctly to that desired destination, then that map is the wrong map and unless that wrong map is discarded and the correct map drawn up he will never get to his destination. This is sheer common sense! You cannot hold and use a map that leads to Nigeria and end up in Tanzania!

Thought: It does not matter how far you travel on the wrong route, you will never get to your rightful desired destination. So if the map is accurate, it’s only a time factor, you will unfailingly get there

Tips on How do to know that your plan is organized

1.       An organized plan has the name of what it is intended for; it has an inert life waiting to exist

2.       The plan has descriptive features

3.       The planner can tell that he has reached his destination when gets there. This is because if you do not have a vivid description of where you are going; you will not know when you are there. You might even go past the place or begin an entirely wrong path in a different direction not related to your intended location.

4.       An organized plan is often devoid of vague assumptions. It usually contains facts, removes sentiments. It is flexible, and the planner is willing to shift grounds, take corrections and make intelligent changes as the need arises

Finally, before a plan is discarded, ensure that you have provided an alternative plan that is better than that one. An intelligent thing to do to an existing plan is to make adjustments in order to keep it up to date and to keep you focused in achieving your goal
