When you turn guesses into plans, you enter a danger zone. Plans let the past drive the future. They put blinders on you. “This is where we’re going because, well, that’s where we said we were going.” And that’s the problem: Plans are inconsistent with improvisation. (Rework. Jason Fried, David Heinemeier Hansson)
Yeah, planning is just a sort of uncertainty avoidance and I need to work on letting my plans go when a better way of doing things arrives (and there is always a better way! - if I'm optimistic that is). But I'm not saying that planning should be discarded - I think the best is to plan and then change as the situation changes (and it always changes - even if I'm pessimistic!)
