Question

What types of planning do you do in your personal life? Describe these plans in terms of being (a) strategic or operational, (b) short term or long term, and (c) specific or directional plan.

Answer 1

For my personal life, there are different plans that I undertake and they depend on the overall goals that I have in life. For instance, the main plans that I make fall in different categories but they could be summarized as being strategic, short-term and long-terms and specific in nature. For strategic goals, they have a clear step by step approach that guide me on how to achieve specific tasks. Short-term plans are those that I plan on taking for a year or less and they help me in achieving personal goals that I aim to finish within a year. Long term plans are those that I use to achieve goals that will take amore time like five years and above to accomplish. The last category of my personal plan is specific this is because they are detailed enough to reduce ambiguity and they include factors like starting and finishing schooling programs. The dates are clearly defined in these cases.
