Planning is Everything

Description

  1. Overview
    1. V-2168 Planning is everything (Valenica Michailova)
    2. In some wonderful way I started to speak three foreign languages.
    3. Probably genetics.
    4. After all, my grandfather was German.
    5. But the thing is, no one in my family ever spoke foreign languages.
    6. Including my German grandfather.
    7. Of course, you could say that’s because I just like speaking Persian.
    8. Fine! I like it. But do we learn every language we like?
    9. No, we don’t!
    10. So, how is it that I can raise children, travel the world, record courses, run a YouTube channel, travel endlessly, so to speak, and still find time for study?
    11. For me, it’s not difficult.
    12. Why?
    13. Because I’m a planning fanatic!
    14. And I’m sure that if something isn’t scheduled – it won’t happen on its own!
    15. One hour of the planning, in my opinion, saves several hours of our unproductive lives.
    16. And please don’t look for mistakes in my text.
    17. They are, of course, there!
  2. Footnote
    1. The phrase 'поставить в план' sounds unidiomatic in Russian, because typically with the word 'план' (plan), we use the word 'вносить' (to enter, to include). The word 'поставить' (to put, to place) is more appropriate when paired with words that denote physical objects or have a tangible form, rather than something abstract or intangible like a phenomenon without a physical form.
