Weekly Planning

Planning, no matter how spontaneous things may be, is the essential ingredient to anything I've done in my life. Though they have a tendency to go awry, the more I plan the more I'm able to visualize the future, which gives me confidence, which I need. The biggest problem I have at BYU is facing the ugly truth that I'm quite intimidated by many things! But when I write things down with a beginning and end in mind, I feel empowered and ready to face the future. 

BTW, I have started writing this in the middle of a weekly planning session. I got a free notebook from a graduate school fair and didn't know what to do with it. (btw, I just heard my roommate use a spray bottle for his hair. I hope he's not gay.)

"I'm so thoroughly convinced that if I use effective planning I'll make a big difference in my life. I once thought that I was losing my personality when I became a planning fiend, but now I realize that planning doesn't have to be cold as stones. Rather, there's so many things I can do freely. (I just realized my roommate is now cleaning up the bathroom. Woo!)
