Plan First, Act Second
Separating planning from doing enhances efficiency and focus. Professionals often behave reactively, likened to shotgunners amidst chaos, whereas becoming goal directed transforms their approach to that of a sniper, allowing for clear observation and precise action. Effective planning employs divergent thinking, fostering creativity by connecting diverse ideas, while efficient execution relies on convergent thinking, focusing intently on a singular task. Using these cognitive modes distinctly—diverging during planning and converging during action—enables decisive movement without second-guessing actions, freeing individuals to commit to their chosen path.
