Excessive Planning Steals Your Peace.
Balance is key. Planning should serve your peace, not sabotage it.
The plans of the diligent leads surely to abundance, but those who are hasty comes only to want. Proverbs 21:5 / Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it’s the Lord’s purpose that pervails.
There is a lot to be said about planning ahead. It helps you to set clear goals, reduces stress, and helps you to make better decisions. When you plan ahead you have a pretty good idea as to where you are going which can help you from being bogged down with unnecessary tasks and distractions. “Being able to assign yourself a series of steps that you need to carry out that will have you going in the right direction.”
When I think about planning an occasion, I start to plan months in advance, that gives me time to think things over at my own leisure in case I need to change my mind about something. Or some unforseen situation that might come up. Do I always plan out everything before I do it, absolutely not.
From time to time, knowing I will be having an event coming up in a matter of days instead of planning it out. I jumped right into executing the event at the spear of the moment. This practice has worked out for me over the years.
