I am always in favor of planning things carefully well in advance. Because, in today's competitive world, if you do not plan early, you miss many opportunity. For example, if you plan to travel to a place, then you should book your flight / hotels at least 1/2 months before. Its better if you can even do it even more earlier. Because many prefer to plan early, thus availability reduces, as the day approaches. And that ultimately increases the price as well.

This whole world is a demand supply game. If demand is more, then that causes the price to increase. I have seen the flight ticket prices are much lesser, if you book them 4-5 months earlier, and they keeps on increasing as time progresses. 

So its always good to plan ahead , but there are certain situations, which is not in your control, for which you cannot plan before. So we need to face them as they come with patience and try to do our best.

It depends on that certain thing...but most of the time i

love to carefully plan anything which i want to do

because i believe that having a good plan before doing anything usually makes that certain thing to become

successful for me after i successfully executed the

plan,but there are some things that i do that i just go

with the flow..e.g whenever i am trading cryptocurrencies i just go with the flow of what is

happening on the market and make my decisions based on that...

Depends. Usually I do plan a lot and I am into details and predicting situations from every angle getting prepared at the same time for almost anything. However not all of the time things work flawlessly so sometimes I do have to flow with what come out. I admit that I don't like going with the flow, but I also acknowledge the importance of sometimes going with the flow and letting spontaneity to solve what it comes and climb mountains. This way a lot of useless stress can be avoided. However, I think that the best recipe would be to mix both of them. Plan carefully and let the flow of events bring you the solutions for unexpected bumps on the road.  

I prefer to carefully plan things. I am constantly thinking about the variables in any given situation, more of what could possibly go wrong, than what could possibly go right.  This is a tough thought process to change, but it is clearly the reason I like to plan ahead.
