The Guns of Israel & Planning

Tonight's Islamic Documentaries features The Guns of Israel. So why show this? Well viewers especially Muslims should understand what commitment and focus is all about. You can't progress or win if you're sloppy and the other party plans and execute with precision. And that's what Muslims as a whole have been: SLOPPY. Man plans and Allah plans and Allah is the best of planners. There is something there in that Quranic verse, isn't there? Do I need to outline that we are horrible planners? It's a pity that we complain too much and do too little.

What Are The Benefits Of Planning?

Talented individuals always make plans before starting anything new including a new website or internet business or before doing something as simple as a blog entry. These people make sure they know every single step in detail before actually undertaking the project, even though this might cost them a bit more of their time. Write it down: The more you write out the more you think things through and the more you probably think of! Warning, oh yes there's a warning: You could waste a lot of time due to trying to plan too far ahead or in too much detail up front. But plan you must.

For those Muslims & skeptics who never plan, here’s a few reasons why you should:

• The human memory isn’t bulletproof. We often forget things half-way through a task and try and rack our brains to search for the thing we were thinking about. By writing or typing a plan, you make sure that you don’t leave out an important part of the procedure, which could end up costing you more time in the long run.
• Allow ideas to brew. This point is especially useful in content creation. By jotting down a plan of your next blog post or artwork you can let your ideas brew, and don’t have the pressure of trying to write a post/design on the spur of the moment, something that guarantees a lack of quality.
• Be more productive. Whilst planning takes up some of the precious “action time”, in the long run, it can actually help you to organize your activities and to make sure you perform the most useful activities whilst you’re in the groove.
