Some people prefer to plan activities for their free time very carefully. Others choose not to make any plans at all for their free time. Compare the benefits of planning free-time activities with the benefits of not making plans. Which do you prefer - planning or not planning for your leisure time? Use specific reasons and examples to explain your choice.
-----------------------------------------
I prefer planning the activities regardless they are related to business or free time. Planning is a fundamentally intelligent behavior. A psychological process of thinking about the activities required to be performed in a given time frame.
Planning is an anticipatory decision making process that helps in coping with the available time and money. It is selection of missions, objectives and translation of knowledge into action. A planned performance brings better results compared to unplanned one. “He, Who Fails To Plan, Plans To Fail”. Planning is deciding in advance what to do, how to do it, when to do it. It bridges the gap from where the organization is to where it wants to be. The planning function involves establishing goals and arranging them in logical order. A plan can play a vital role in helping to avoid mistakes or recognize hidden opportunities. Preparing a satisfactory plan is essential. The planning process enables one to understand more clearly what one want to achieve, and how and when one can do it.
In a well-prepared plan the doer knows what he or she has thought of, what is the time available for the activities, what are the funds available. Depending on all those factors one can decide what to do, when to do, how to do and last but not least when to finish it up with all the available resources. This will be most enjoyable if it is for free time activities.
In conclusion, even from our “Kinder Garden” days we are taught to have a “Time Table” and strictly follow that. A time table is a plan for performing our activities. Hence we should do all our activities whether free time or business in a well planned manner.
