Screw your feelings. That’s pretty much it.
Ok, so that’s not really the whole story.
Your feelings are passing, sometimes they are attached to long term goals, sometimes they aren’t.
Sometimes your feelings are just manifestations of basic desires for food, sex, sleep, etc. When that’s true, planning will be harder.
Sometimes they are attached to higher needs, like the need for fulfillment, or to have an impact. When that happens, planning for the future will be easier.
But unless your feelings are attached to an urgent threat to your well being, taking the 5-10 minutes needed to plan your day is well worth the sacrifice.
And it is a sacrifice, despite how small it may seem. To sacrifice is to ignore your feelings and give up something you want now in order to achieve or receive something better in the future.
That’s what planning your day is: a tiny sacrifice in order to have a better future.
As I’ve said before, even if you never look at your plan again, your day will be better if you’ve written down a plan.
And if you do go back to your plan, while being willing to adjust as you go, it will get even better still.
So ignore your passing desire to skip planning, and dive in. You’ll be done in no time, you’ll feel better, and it will be that much easier to plan the next day.
