Pros of planning ✅

You control everything. Even the cat, who is supposed to sleep until lunch (he, however, doesn't know).

Fewer surprises. And surprises, as we know, can be different: from a gift to a visit from your mother-in-law.

A sense of productivity. You made a to-do list, pretended to do it - and are already pleased with yourself!

Cons of planning ❌

Life loves to joke. You planned out your week, and then bam - a virus, rain, or a discount on pizza. Everything goes wrong.

Boring. When every step is planned out, adventures somehow pass you by.

Procrastination with a bonus. Sometimes planning takes more time than doing.

Pros of spontaneity 🎉

Always fun. You don’t know where you’ll end up in the evening — at the movies or at karaoke with the neighbors.

Flexibility. Life is like yoga: the more you bend, the more interesting.

Adrenaline. Decided — done. And no ten lists of “pros and cons.”

Cons of spontaneity 🌀

Chaos. You have three unfinished business and four unexpected adventures, and you only have the energy for the couch.

Risk. Sometimes “on a hunch” is not romance, but a parking ticket.

Not everyone likes it. People who plan around you start to twitch nervously.

So what should you choose?

True, as usual, somewhere in the middle. Plan the important, be spontaneous in the pleasant. Make a list, but leave room for surprises.

After all, life is not an Excel spreadsheet, but rather a TV series with unexpected twists. 📺😉
