Planning and
execution (the doing part) are often treated as the same activity. They are
clearly separate; they have different names to begin with. When I say that they
are treated as the same activity what I mean is that I often find that people
will think about what they are doing (planning) as they are doing the task
(execution). By this time they are already on a specific path and so the effect
of their planning is limited.
Planning can be
seen as another task to be completed. Another thing to do on an already
straining ‘to do’ list. This is understandable with how workload’s seem to be
nowadays. However, planning can be done very quickly, and can help to reduce
the amount of work required to complete a task.
So, a small amount
of planning could actually reduce the total workload you have in front of you.
Coming up with a quick planning method that suits the way you work is the trick
here, and that requires you to have a think about how you work best and what
results you need.
I wonder what solution you come up with.
