Plans and goals are as dependent on each other as bees and flowers. A person who has a big goal but does not implement a plan can often only linger in the same place, while a reasonable plan will allow him to move forward steadily.
One year, a group of ambitious and high-spirited children graduated from Harvard University, and their intelligence, education, and environmental conditions were almost the same. Before leaving the school, the school conducted a survey on their life plans. The result is this: 27% of people, without a plan;60% of people have vague plans;10% have a clear but relatively short-term plan;3% have a clear and long-term plan.
Twenty-five years later, Harvard again followed the group of students. The result is this: 3% of people, in the past 25 years, they have made unremitting efforts in one direction, and almost all of them have become successful people from all walks of life, including industry leaders and social elites;10% of people, whose short-term plans continue to be realized, become professionals in various fields, mostly living in the middle and upper strata of society;60% of the people live and work in peace, but they have no special achievements, and almost all of them live in the middle and lower classes of society;The remaining 27 per cent have no plan for their lives, are not living as they should, and are often complaining about others, about society, and about a world that "doesn't give them a chance".
In fact, the difference between them is only whether they made a plan for their life 25 years ago.
People who don't have a plan are easily troubled by emotions such as worry, fear, annoyance, and self-pity, are unsure of themselves, and often feel anxious and disappointed. All of these emotions will lead to inevitable mistakes, failures, losses and misfortunes that we don't want to see. Planning can give us confidence in the future, and it can also help us better cope with work and life without feeling overwhelmed.
In the book "Effective Managers", management guru Peter Drucker said: "A well-managed business is always monotonous and boring, without any exciting events. That's because all possible crises have been foreseen and turned into routine. From Drucker's words, we can deduce such a conclusion: good companies do not hope for unexpected good luck, and never encounter unexpected blows, as long as they follow the plan step by step, they are constantly approaching the original goal.
Getting together with some people who have a plan can help distance yourself from other people. A planned enterprise is more united, persistent, and more stable than a stumbling enterprise, a good start is half the success, and a good plan is a good start. At all times, a good plan is a safe door to success.
In order to translate the goal into action, it is necessary to implement it step by step and in a planned manner, and after the goal is established, formulate an implementation plan and carry it out step by step and regularly, which is a powerful guarantee for improving efficiency and achieving the goal.
Whether there is a plan or not is the key to whether the goal can be achieved. Planning doesn't have to be perfect, but having a sense of planning can help us arrange our time reasonably and work and live better. With a plan, our daily life can be carried out in a clear and orderly manner, with standards for examination and summarization, and it can also promote the individual's agency, enthusiasm and potential. However, when formulating an implementation plan, attention must be paid to the following aspects.
The plan should be closely aligned with the goal.
A plan is a blueprint for achieving a goal, and a plan is also an action step to achieve one's ideals. The development of a good implementation plan should be closely linked to the goal, but also to the personal ideals, because the plan serves to achieve the goal.
2.The plan should be tailored to the individual's realities.
The formulation of the plan should be based on the actual situation of the individual, such as subjective conditions such as ability, characteristics, strengths and weaknesses, and the physical and mental health of the individual, as well as objective factors such as one's own working environment and family situation. After a comprehensive analysis of the above-mentioned subjective and objective factors, formulate specific actions that are suitable for your own situation and in line with your personal goals.
Plans should be realistic and should be achievable or achievable through effort. Plans and goals should not be too high, too high to achieve, and failure will lead to loss of confidence and hinder future action. Plans and targets should not be too low, as too low will have no incentive effect and will not be conducive to improvement and development.
3.The timing should be scientific.
Scientifically arranging and using time is the key to making a good plan. The so-called scientific time arrangement is to meet the requirements of "comprehensive, reasonable and efficient". To arrange time comprehensively is to combine the length of the goal and make full use of the time to achieve the goal, but at the same time, it is also necessary to combine work and rest.
4.The timing should be closely aligned with the specifics.
The implementation plan is a part of the whole life, if you leave the daily life, it will not work, so the implementation plan schedule should be closely integrated with the specific life, Xi, work content. Everyone has their own actual situation, and you can't ask for a unified timetable, but remember that the schedule should be reasonable, closely integrated with the specific content, and not generalized and empty.
5.Resolutely implement the plan.
The formulation of a plan is an action step to achieve the goal, and the implementation must be resolute, and there must be a spirit of perseverance and perseverance and vowing not to give up until the goal is achieved, otherwise the plan is just a dead letter. In the process of implementing the plan, it should be constantly summarized and revised at any time to make the plan more in line with the actual situation.
You know, success is not waiting, if we hesitate, the opportunity will be thrown into the arms of others, and abandon us forever. At this point, remember: once you have set your goals, you have to make a plan and act now!
