Do you plan your day

Are you a person who plans their day or do you just work around the things that are scheduled? Like work, school, appointments, and what do you do when it all falls apart? Are you very upset or can you just go with the flow?

I like having a planned day. It's a lot more fun than not knowing what's going on. I hate surprises. I like having a structured, routine day. It makes me feel more comfortable as I know what to expect and I can more easily plan around other things that are scheduled for the day. I plan ahead when I can but when I can't I just work around what else is going on.

I used to make plans and I gave up a long time ago! Have you heard the saying, “Life is what happens to you while you are making other plans”? What I do everyday, is set ‘guidelines’ for my day, appointments etc and I go through the day expecting the unexpected otherwise I will be upset and stressed; basically it’s about giving up control and letting go of results.

I just can't plan anything.I'm cursed!I wake up early on Sunday morning,I decide to spend my day at home,relax with a good book,try a new cake recipe,and then I hear the doorbell ringing,my relatives came to visit me and I know there won't be any peace and relaxation at all.I hate when people ruin my plans,but there's nothing I can do about it.I'm not able to control their minds.So,my plans partly depend on their plans.

Iused to plan my whole day only to have someone come along and ruin all my plans that i had made.I used to write down a list of jobs and used to get stopped by people all day so i could not do them either.So now i do not bother to do the list of jobs or the plans to go some where.

i am very spontaneous but i do usually have some sort of agenda for the day, basically things that i definitely need or want to get done (depending on if i am at work or if i am at home), but i am pretty flexable.

Hi, Past! If I didn't plan carefully, I'd probably never get to everything. I don't like having to be so regimented, but that's how busy life is during the school year.

Planning is one thing that I am learning right now. I wanted to become more organize with my activities. I think planning for your activities is good because you can set up what goals you wanted to achieve and you can see that step by step. Unfortunately, for the past twenty years of my life, I haven't developed much of my planning skills. When I plan for something early, at the end of the day, I realized that I haven't done what I planned for and did something different. That's why sometimes I lost out of track and just go with the flow. Now I wanted to change my attitude, I need to be motivated to do what I planned for so that I could reach my goals at a certain time. ^^

I don't like to plan too much. My calender is very important to me, I write everything down, but I often change my plans when I get a spontaneous idea. I tend to forget my appointments if I don' write them in my calender, and sometimes my friends get angry at me, because I forget the plans we made. I don't like to do things the same way each time and I always try to do something new. If I have to walk from one place to another, I like to find new streets etc, so that I get to see something new. When my plans fall apart, I usually don't get upset, I just find a different way of doing things.

sometimes i do and often times i dont. because i always tend to break those plans i did make for that day. so i guess its better for me to just go with my days flow of schedules. its better for me that way. i wont get disappointed if ever i cannot make the plan i am hoping to do for that day. thanks friend jhelai

i try to plan my day. but my days usually constit. of chat sites and money making sites. so at 8 i always log on to one gaming money site then another then another. then i log back on to mylot answer questions for about a hour or two then i get off brush my teeth and go up stairs and relax and watch tv. because making money online is really really a hard job because of scams. and also because sites don't give you your money right away. you always have to wait a month. and do i plan my daily life. yes sometimes because i don't like to have 2 things to do on the same day at the same time. so i like to keep track on what i want to do. but then i hate planning other times because my plans alway get up done. it makes me so mad that i just want to vblog about it on here or on my new blog.

Well when I was in college and didn't have a regular schedule I didn't really plan a lot. If I needed to go to the bank I might say, "Okay, between my 10 oclock class and my 2:30 class, I need to to hit the bank. I'll go right when I get out of the 10:00 one so I have plenty of time." If that's scheduling, then I guess I do. It's definitley not very structured however, and I don't get upset when things change. But most people need more structure to their day. My husband is the kind of person who won't get anything done unless you give him goals and deadlines. Nothing wrong with either way.

I don't plan because i prefer to think of what i should do or the most best thing i should do to finish. last time i planned on something i almost screw it up. i don't like it when things don't go as planned.

I try not to plan. I really don't. I always end up messing the "routine" up. So it's pointless for me to plan anything. If I have an appointment I go and I hate being late but I don't make my day about that appointment. I'm the kind of person that if I'm doing something and someone suggests we do something else that's more fun or exciting I'm usually up for it. Not enough time in this world to slow down and put things off. I'm here for a limited time I'm going to make the best of it. ;)
