Planning

[tinyjo]

A couple of comment threads have had me reflecting on my tendancy to make plans a lot, particularly in response to feeling unhappy in a situation. And as the trend seems to be to post a poll for any musings of this nature, I present a very short poll on planning :)

I like having a plan in a loose sense.

Like, 1-2-3, but 1 is very concrete, 2 a little less, and 3 is kind of ephemeral. (College-Medschool-Residency.)

I used to be an utter control freak.

I tend to have several branching plans for various "what if" scenarios. That and being open to the idea of re-planning if necessary carries me through. I find that to a certain extent, as long as I've got a plan it's not too distressing if I end up not sticking to it.
