How do you plan?

[Mark Benno <mbenno@mail.waco.isd.tenet.edu>]

OK, gang.  All of these philosophical streams of planning idealism 
have led me to a simple question:  How do you plan?  I'm not asking 
for the "text" answer here.  I'm just curious.  To get the ball 
rolling, I'll mention that I use a software program called 
Inspiration.  It is available for Mac and Windoze.

And, if I may, pull some text from the education version box:
"Inspire students to develop ideas and organize thinking."

In my right brained world, this program helps me build (and edit) 
quick webs of my ideas and then instantly converts them to an outline.

I paid $57 for my copy at a conference.  You can learn more about this 
product at http://www.inspiration.com (download a demo too!).

I'm also curious, Vickie, where you see this type of planning fitting 
in to Covey's *First Things First*.

time trying to get organized than anyone I know, but never does.")
