I have a five year plan. The next year is detailed.. the following 3 are less so and the whole 5 years has big targets etc that are broken down into individual tasks. I believe it helps the family know where we are going and our role in the future. We all have input and have to know what each role is for all members. To me, running a household is the same as running a business and all members of the household have an investment.

Five Year Plans... or suchlike!
Sex God
I have had to do the five year plan because I got myself in such a mess financially if I hadn't have stuck to it god only knows where I would be now....
it finished in june... so only 3 months worth of pain to go..... after that... clean slate....
my only plan in life is to be happy and I don't really think you can put a timescale on that......

Can you give me lessons on how to plan? I used to be great at it in a business sense but am less so personally...
Maybe I just need to get my business head on again.

Just gonna go break it down...........

Ummm and happiness is a state of being.
How do youachieve that ? I presume you maintain happiness by being fed, warm, dry etc. How you achieve those to the standard that you wish to is the way to knowing what your goals are.

A state of being cant be a goal ? 
Sex God
never meant to contradict you anyway. Was just terrified at the prospect of how long breaking down my goal into units might take :-)

We are aware that we might have to plan for sending the odd child to uni but other than that, life is way too short to worry about plans. I would rather be spending the time people use to make plans having fun. We enjoy life as and when we can and I strongly believe in fate.
Does your odd child take after you then? :giggle:

Good point, well made! :thumbup:
I'm a feckless drifter who likes the idea of control and a sence of direction.
go figure
never having been one to 'plan' for fear of never achieving I now find myself in a little existential crisis.
Life, by the events that occur with in it, seems to be creating a set of circumstances whereby I simply 'have' to plan to be able to keep up with whatever the hell is going on around me!!!
Mainly in a work context, things are happening ... things that could have been planned for in the eyes of many, though are 'happy accidents' as far as I'm concerned... though if I am to allow this chain of events to follow thier apparent course, I shall be forced to plan some life-aspects in order to be able to cope.
There will (or may) be some fruitfull offshoots of all this however, though again, only if I plan to use the time and resources well.
Life appears to be telling me to get my sorry arse into gear at long last rather than 'hoping for the best'.
It's about time I suppose, but blimey!

Ummm you first need to decide what you want out of life.
then you break it down to stuff that is manageable within the time frame you are planning for.
simple really.
I knew there was somewhere I was going wrong! I'm ace at planning for other people but an eternal fence-hopper where it comes to my own life. Been interesting so far though ...

I think I may actually be formulating a plan.
My problem is I should be doing something else... planning may well be my new procrastination tool.
:doh: That's not supposed to be part of the plan, is it?!

I would not say I have a plan as such, but a shear determination and a focus of what I want now. I have things I am working on, more of a direction in life.
But I would not call it a plan more of a life changing direction, a way I want to lead my life now.
But I am doing it in a more content and happy way about myself and for myself.
If and when I get there, I haven’t planned but I know I will achieve something and it will be just for my own satisfaction.
