Plan or suffer

If I don't have a plan in some area of life (training, finance, learning, etc.) I suffer. Suffer badly.

The most recent example from my life is morning exercises. I get up at 6:30 every day and go to the sports ground. For several weeks I was training without a clear plan (I don't really have a reason for not planning this, probably, I was too lazy).

My workout went like this:
I did 8-10 pull-ups and walked around until I'm ready for the next set. I didn't have the number of pull-ups that I wanted to accomplish during training, neither had I a time limit for rest between sets. When I felt a bit tired, I went home.
One day I did 40 pull-ups in 30 minutes, another - 70 during the same time!

In my world, a training session should bring joy and motivation for the rest of the day. But these kinda uncontrollable sessions gave me only the feeling that I'm lazy and not consistent. Not hard to imagine that this has negatively affected my work sessions.

Moreover, when you practice without planning, it's hard to make any progress and nearly impossible to monitor it (if there is any).
I've decided to change my approach.

Guess what happened when I just started setting the minimum amount of pull-ups for each session the day before?
50, 55, 60, 65....
I felt like superhuman)

You may ask: "What happened?"

It's all about planning and setting small clear goals.

This applies to all areas of our lives.
- You want to work efficiently and have more free time for your hobbies: find your working hours and prepare the most important tickets.
- Want to eat healthier: research + create a meal plan + stick to it.
- Want to learn a new language: I don't know how I can help you. It's beyond me. (kidding, just decompose this cumbersome task, set deadlines and milestones, and start learning)

Don't suffer if you experience these kinda feelings. Make a plan and stand by it!
