Too often we just decide the urgent but unimportant should take priority over planning.

1. the discomfort of having to think further than ‘tangible’ day-to-day deliverables
2. the fear of making all steps clear
3. the fear of commitment to the deliverables of these clear steps
4. the fear of endings (the planning stops at a give time)

Am I being too negative to start the year. I hope not ;-)

A stunning (and well planned) 2010 to you all!

Manuel
