A plan is a conversation with reality
A plan is useful because it gives attention somewhere to go. It is not a promise that circumstances will cooperate. When new information arrives, revising the plan can be a form of accuracy rather than a sign that you lacked conviction.

Notice the difference between commitment and attachment
Commitment is care for what matters. Attachment is the demand that care take one specific form. Separating those two can make room for a better response when time, energy, money, relationships, or information changes.
