Just three weeks away from moving into our new office here in Raleigh, we've learned a lot of lessons about planning in a very hands-on sort of way. The hand-drawn timeline that we started with (thanks to our wonderful general contractor) appears almost laughable in hindsight, and yet if we hadn't begun there, it's likely that we would be three months away from move-in rather than three weeks.

We plan for the expected, but the unexpected so easily and so often wrecks our plans. It's why most folks don't plan. They view it as a futile exercise in an increasingly complex and chaotic world. Increasing uncertainty doesn't render planning any less useful than seat belts and airbags are in a crash. Not knowing what to expect in the future screams for the preparedness of planning.
