Confrontational planning
(5 Oct. 2007)
Spare time confrontational planning.
Planning what we are going to do of our spare time is often what I call a confrontational planning:  a plan for which the objectives and priorities are not defined beforehand. Personal objectives can address such different needs they cannot be prioritised once for all, we can only promote the ones which will be the most insistent the next days, whatever their real importance. Planning becomes then an attempt to confront all our antagonist needs at once and write the winners. A need is necessary defeated, and will try to sabotage the next days. Good confrontational planning is about accurately evaluating the magnitude of each impulse and how long it can bear being undermined.
I attempted to render this mental process by using my phone camera from 3 different angles while I take notes of a fake to do list.
