It’s important to plan and consider making attainable goals to move further in your work, but I think the same approach is a bad idea while planning everyday life. I usually never plan things.

February 1, 2014

Today is February 1, 2014. January wasn’t as fruitful as I intended it to be. I got distracted, didn’t complete my work, and failed to accomplish my goals.
