Do you have a "plan" ?

LC2010HIS

Kinda curious. When I was young I thought "right - ill be doin this, that, married at this age, kids at that age....."
Like, do you think or hope you'll accomplish something by a certain stage?
Do you have a plan? Is it in motion?

I love it when a plan comes together.

Micky Dolenz

I'm guessing you're young, 17 or 18?

There is no such thing as a (workable) plan.

A plan takes the fun out of life. I'd rather not know what I'm doing and figure it out along the way

My plan in life is to just avoid ****ing up so badly that my dad wouldn't even talk to me.

It wasn't me!

Plans should be for a few years at a time, then regularly revisited. You then deal with things as they pop up. I think it's important to have some foresight as to where your life is going though, or you end up sitting around and not getting things done.

Yup, I have a 5 year plan. Anything more is a bit ambitious for myself. Marriage, kids etc etc doesn't come into it. That happens when it happens. Can't make a plan about most things like that.

It's mainly further education and where I want to be in employment/qualifications in 5 years time.

Plans are good. Gives clarity and you become more focused. I find that not having a plan doesn't work well for me. If my plan doesn't work out then I make another one.

Government making it very difficult for me to implement my plan at the moment. I will get there though

no

Miss Fluff

More a fly by the seat of my panties type of girl...no plan

Yep.. Pretty much stuck to my plan for the last 5 years except for an extra qualification I was supposed to do after college. The next 3 years now should be fairly interesting.

omahaid

Yep, have a plan, have divided it up into 8 year chunks, am now into the 2nd 8 year section, plan still on track.

futonic

i'd say LC2010 stands for Leaving Cert 2010? You are worried about your results?

Anyway, for me no plan anymore... doesn't work. Just keep swimming.

squeakyduck

1) Get my MA

2) Continue working my ass off until I have enough money to travel around the world

3) Do a TEFL course so I can teach when the funds are getting low.

4) Head off around the world, have fun, see new cultures, eat new foods (and hopefully not get the ****s after them!)

5) Come home. Get a nice job, settle down a bit, house, dog etc!

starlit

kind of. hope to do a masters before or by the time i'm 30! after that letting things go with the flow as I know I can't force things to happen rather go the distance and then see what happens and let nature takes its course! If things are ment to be they will and i seem to think everything happens for a reason!

Biggins

Yes.
...and everyone else except those that see me as a god, are going to die!

plein de force

i do indeed
not for like 10 years time because i think that's too unforseeable
i do have a rough plan for the next 5 years though

do well in LC
get into my preferred course
study in france for a year or two
complete degree
get a job in france, if not come home

Odysseus

With certain things yes, I'm just starting another round of study so I have a short, medium and long term plan of action. I already have my degree and MA, but I'm starting a MSc in Sept, and I plan to do another MSc then, before I start on the PhD. It's really only with study, career and sports that I develop medium to long term plans. For other parts of life, I like things to happen and respond accordingly. Plans sholud have the ability to be able to react to the problems life throws at us.

Ooly

No long term plan but I have smaller plans.

I hate not knowing what to do next. Like when finishing college. All my mates were happy to do nothing & draw the dole for a year. It would drive me insane not having anything to do.

Win the lotto is my plan .

Never really made a plan until I was about 22. Decided to go back to college and get some kind of a decent qualification so I wouldn't end up in some dead end job.

Nearly finished that now and have secured myself a decent job so my current plan is just to stick with the job for 2 years and then reassess. Not a very interesting plan but a necessary one, easy to stick to as well.

Lucky you!.

Mine plan is turning out to be; Drink, **** and then crying
And now with the recession and being broke, its just plain old **** and crying.

Yeah I always knew and end up either **** or crying.
So then is it an acheivment to end up **** and crying? I like to think so.

*Pat's self on back. Then has a ****................and a cry.*

holystungun9

Well, at this stage I don't want to have any kids and marriage is a definite no no. Too much of a commitment phobe. Having all this pretty much cleared up that means I should be pretty set for my round the world trip, yeah!

Someone's been reading their Stephen R. Covey! Well done OP!

Can be highly ineffective if read through skewed vision though i.e. Drunk, Young, Stoned, etc. etc..

I have a general plan yeah, ideas of what I'd like to do each Summer during college, plans for further study after college, an idea of what I'd like to be doing at the height of my career. Not too pushed on the whole marriage thing as I don't think it's necessary, but I'd like kids to come into my plan at some point, though I'm not sure where.

Aim in life is to have a nice place to live, a job I like, and a husband.
Almost have 2/3 now.

I used to worry about this big plan I had, I didn't plan on going travelling until I was 27 or so, but when the recession kicked in, I headed off at 23!

Asphyxia

Nothing too exciting right now but...

-Work loads and make loads of money
-Study hard and get my qualifications
-Travel around the world experiencing everything
-Get a better job!!!
-Buy a house, get married have some babies
-Live happily ever after

I would tend to plan, but then I ran into something I couldn't plan for and I realised you can plan your whole life, but the fact is you never know whats coming either your/someone you know's way. And changed

The more you want stuff, the further out of reach it seems to go, as the anxiety kicks in with knowing that date/time is looming and stuff which you thought would happen didnt happen yet and on rince repeat. Break the cycle fook planning and just do stuff and whatever you want to happen will happen

vicecreamsundae

for ONCE, i actually have a short term plan. starting a one year masters in september, and after that i'll be eligible for the j1 visa so hope to go to the states for a few months-a year and get some work in a library. then i can apply for the canadian student year work visa [already used the under35 one] and go there for a year and get more work experience and then hope to apply for permanent residency in canada.
after that... who cares!

but prepared that the plan might change -hopefully if it does it will be in a good way!!

Not a bad plan...but why Sunderland/Ipswich?

What about Barclona/ AC Milan?


edit...It must be the Roy Keane factor....am I right?:)


He might be managing Exeter/Gillingham by then if he's lucky!

OT no I never had a plan maybe I should have....maybe I wouldn't be posting on Boards at 3:30am on a Sunday night!
