What's the plan?

     Plan: a scheme or method of acting, doing, proceeding, making, etc., developed in advance.  
     
     Planning: to arrange a method or scheme beforehand for (any work, enterprise, or proceeding)



     Planning is one of the most important things you can do. If you don't plan, chaos ensues! Especially with large scale projects. Take the demolition of the old library for example. If they didn't make a clear plan about razing the building, it could have fallen in on itself and caused lots of damage to the school. Luckily, they planned to take down the old building one floor at a time.

     Have you ever made a plan for yourself? For schoolwork or maybe just for getting your chores done? Making a plan tends to make things work out a lot smoother. You can see problems before they occur, and you can allot a proper amount of time to complete each task. 

     In a theatre there is a clear plan made before any work begins. All designs and floor plans are made weeks before tech begins. Once work does begin those plans become the only thing that people trust. Whenever a question arises, go check the plans. Even the designer doesn't trust his own mind, he follows the plans to a tee.

Well those are my thoughts about planning. Do it!
See ya in Class,

  1. The only thing I can really say about this is that plans aren't things that should be depended on 100% of the the time. Unforeseeable things occur, the plan won't work anymore, and you only have a small time frame by which you must improvise your next step or else fail. What I mean to say is that, in order to have something succeed all the time you must be someone capable of adhering to the plan while at the same time capable of making good 3 second reactions. Depending on each person Chaos won't always pop out whenever a plan isn't made, and even with some people, they aren't at all necessary in order to continue a successful life.
