Planning helps you fight stress.

Thinking about what you have to do and how you will get it done takes a little time each week, but it saves you so much in the end.   If you walked into my high school English teacher's class without a pencil, she would always ask, "Would you go to a battlefield without a gun?"  This makes so much sense to me now. How can you expect not to be stressed during the week, but you start it without a plan.  If you "wing it", I'm sure you can fly for a little while, but will you ever learn to soar?
