S11E7 - With The Flow

With flowing, you get to let your values and intuition lead the way but you also risk getting lazy or missing opportunities. With planning, you have guidelines to follow that can make decisions easier but if things don't go to schedule, it can be extremely disappointing and frustrating to rearrange everything.

Going with the flow" means adapting to situations as they arise, being flexible and open to change, while "planning" involves setting out a structured course of action with predetermined steps to achieve a specific goal, prioritizing control and foresight over spontaneity; essentially, one is about embracing the unknown while the other is about actively shaping your path.
Key differences:

Flexibility:
"Going with the flow" prioritizes flexibility and adapting to changing circumstances, whereas planning leans towards sticking to a set course, even if situations change.

Decision-making:
When going with the flow, decisions are often made based on intuition and immediate needs, while planning involves weighing options and making deliberate choices based on a larger vision.
Stress levels:
"Going with the flow" can be less stressful in situations with uncertainty, while rigid adherence to a plan can cause stress when things don't go as expected.

When to "go with the flow":
Enjoying spontaneous experiences
Being open to new opportunities that may arise unexpectedly
Reducing stress in situations with lots of unknowns

When to plan:
Achieving complex goals with multiple steps, Managing time effectively, and Ensuring important tasks are completed.
