“Life without a design is erratic. As soon as one is in place, principles become necessary. I think you’ll concede that nothing is more shameful than uncertain and wavering conduct, and beating a cowardly retreat. This will happen in all our affairs unless we remove the faults that seize and detain our spirits, preventing them from pushing forward and making an all-out effort.”
—SENECA, MORAL LETTERS, 95.46
Remember about the importance of having a plan in order to avoid chaos and being overwhelmed.

The takeaway is that it is important to have a plan in order to feel more confident and in control in any situation.
