The Plan Does Not Care

An Insight from In the Room

“Being clear on my priorities for the month makes it much easier to execute on the days I lack energy.”

The plan does not care how you feel, and that is why you need a plan.

Humans are driven by emotions and, it turns out, they are crucial to decision-making. People with a brain injury that cuts them off from the emotional parts of their brain tend to go around in circles and find it impossible to decide.

However, our fears, our ego, and our desires, despite being crucial to decision-making, often lead us astray.

That is why it is critical to have a plan that can be relied on. A plan that doesn’t change on the down days and does not care how you feel.

Then execute the plan and feel the feelings, but don’t let them interfere with each other.
