“Perhaps the most valuable result of education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when  it ought to be done whether you like it or not”

--Thomas  Huxley (Famous writer)

“Every morning the day’s task should be planned”

  --Chanakya (Statesman & writer of Arthasastra)

Action plan  is essential for success. Planning results in action plan. Action plan decides actions and plans your activities? What strategy you have to adopt to realize your goal. What are your problems and how will you face  them? How have you to prepare to yourself resolve that problem.

Planning prioritises all your action, while action plan deals with any one point programme. Planning is general, whereas action plan deals in detail about one point.

 So, it helps in going ahead in life. One who plans and sticks to it achieves the goals.

Planning is in fact action management. As we manage time, one has to manage his series of actions  according to priority of work. When you have set your goal, you further  subdivide it into intermediate goals. To accomplish these goals, you have to prepare an action plan. Proper planning prevents poor  performance.

What do I want to accomplish today? Develop a plan for achieving your goal and a deadline for its attainment. Plan your project carefully- hour by hour, day by day, and month by month.
