Hello, hello, dear listener and welcome into the world of IOT speaking part three.

We are discussing plans, planning and organization.

And Rory is the super authority here because Rory is the most organized person I know. I've ever known, actually.

His organization is like, wow. Wow. So you will hear lots of expert comments.

Seriously, like everything is organized, everything is planned out, everything is in advance,

like super organizational skills.

Do you think it's important to plan ahead?

In the main, yes, it's good to at least have an outline of what you need to do.

Then there's less stress in deciding what to do in the moment, doesn't there?

I know people talk a lot about living in the moment, but some things are definitely foreseeable,

and you can plan around them.

What activities do we need to plan ahead?

All kinds of things. Usually the ones involving other people so you can anticipate what they might need or like and how best to get it to them or how to cope when those things aren't

available or possible. I think the best example is for things like birthdays and birthday parties.

You need to make sure you have enough food and drink and space for

everyone involved and you need to get a good gift. If you leave all that to the last moment,

then it could all go horribly wrong. Do you think children should plan their future careers?

Well, they're the ones who will be following those particular career paths. So they should

have some say, at least, shouldn't they? I suppose all of this depends on how young the children

are too, since, you know, young children are prone to flights of fancy and maybe cannot anticipate

all the pros and cons of a different career, but adults can help with that too,

so they can make an informed choice.
