Question

Personal Planning. Critically review the requirements for completing the program and develop a personal plan to complete the course work while balancing other demands (e.g. family, work, and hobbies.) The plan should include:

1. A general description of your overall strategy, as well as
2. A personalized timetable for completing weekly readings, Discussions, and Assignments for this course.

Answer 1

Many people don’t like the idea of planning their future. They don’t feel they have the time. Some feel that change comes at such a rapid pace that the plan would be obsolete before they could implement it anyway. Shoot, some people are so successful they don’t see a need to plan.
