Sorry for the slow reply! I think the change to the name of the post is good.
I guess when giving stories about people with plans, I’d like to hear more about how the plans helped them. The main takeaway I had from your stories was “Geoff Anders’ plan helped him to persuade other people to work with him”. But I don’t get the impression that you’re claiming the main benefit of a plan is to be able to get others on board.
I also feel that planning is a question of degree. It’s obvious that some thought about the future is useful. It’s also obvious that you don’t want to spend 100% of your time planning minutae. So I kind of wanted to see discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of planning more, and claims about where the sweet spot was, and why people tend to get it wrong (if they do).
