Do you like to plan or set goals for yourself?

To be honest, I didn’t have a habit of making plans or keeping track of my daily activities or what I was supposed to do, which, admittedly, did more harm than good. Since I am kind of absent-minded and unorganized, I think it would be more prudent if I could make a to-do list and strictly follow my schedule. Therefore, about a year ago, I decided to live and work more productively and beat procrastination by starting keeping a journal on basically everything I feel necessary as well as a planner to monitor the next steps I have to take to attain my goals.
