All of us want to be successful. We get excited to start first when we get an idea. We may continue doing the work for some time and may hit a hurdle and stop. We may get disappointed with the setbacks and quit the work.

The solution to this lies in planning. Having an idea and willingness to work is not enough. It is wise to plan the work before we plunge into the action. Without planning, we do not get the clarity of the whole picture. If we are not clear about the complete picture, we may quit due to temporary setbacks when we are very close to the target. The ability of planning gives us the scope to see the Big Picture, thereby making us ready to go through the whole journey more confidently than doubtfully.

There are many people who are unwilling to take up the Big Goals in life, thinking that it would be difficult to achieve them. When we look at the top of the mountain from the bottom, it may look scary but if we plan the whole journey with the best of our knowledge and guidance from the experts, we can comfortably climb the mountain.

The Technique which we can apply in our Long Term Planning is Slicing Technique. Let it be a Big Goal, it can be planned into small tasks which can be measured and achieved comfortably. When we measure the task, it is easy to review the progress and take necessary action to get the desired result.

With the Planning, we are clear of journey, we get peace of mind, save money & time. Ultimately, it helps us working in a systematic way to succeed.
