Towards the end of my degree, we were tasked with writing out detailed 5 year plans and I managed to write out six months before I got super annoyed with the assignment and started writing in vague, idiotic shit that had nothing to do with reality.

For one, I have no friggin clue what I want to do in five years. I will be a completely different person. Secondly, my field of work is fickle af and you cannot plan anything further ahead than a couple of months because the market is fucked and clients are scared of spending money even during prosperous periods.

So I felt like that exercise was brain dead and I have felt that way during every consultant program I have partaken in the hopes that I could learn something from them. 5 year plans are for people who don't live in the real world or robots.

For someone like me who cannot plan shit to save my life and mostly live on impulse and adjusting myself to my present reality all the time, I see that type of planning as unserious and unrealistic.

That said, I do like well made plans for projects that have a shorter time frame, where the focus is on one project and how it can best be completed before the deadline and in-between other projects. I vibe hard with that shit because it makes sense, it is urgent to an extent and it is real.
