Two activities I that I apparently obsess about. I love flying in planes, being around planes, and fantasize one day being a pilot. The planning however methodical and objective anyone person claims, thinks or says it is... it's essential to staying on task with pristine focus. Only thing that not-planning something does is leave you spinning your wheels (behind "road" blocks, writer's blocks, brick walls blocking your creator flow). And eventually wasting more of your precious time. I've done this, planned nothing and wasted my time writing in circles with no real story. At least, I learned (albiet it the hard way).
