How does planning work?

                                     Discussions in COMM11003 week 5, Term 1, 2015                                                                                                     - written by JolleyNguyen- 


     Planning in communication might be fallen into oblivion without knowing that in any type of communication you need to plan and logically organize your information as well as your audience ( Euson 2012, pp. 350-351) to make an impression with audiences. You cannot deny the importance of planning because it will create a lot of advantages when you are well-prepared in planning and organizing. A plan is not necessarily doing something, but deciding on how you will do something. Moreover, planning not only increases the efficiency of what you want to say, what you want to transmit but also reduces the risks while you are in conversation. 

     Locker and Kaczmarek (2011, p. 64) suggest that you should set aside two-thirds of your time for planning and revising when writing and this is appropriate for most communication practice. This will help you in some way leading to successful because you can maintain in good control, achieve the targets beautifully and planning helps you to express your creativity and innovation. Besides, if you are good at planning and do it well, you may readily choose the best way of all available strategies. It helps you become a good decision maker. Therefore, why don’t you spend a liitle time of yours to plan your day, week or even months?



      For instance, if you want to create a plan for a typical week including time for your study, work, family or other activities, you should need organize it carefully every detail. You should analyze the most important event first about its time, place and then notice the others.  When you create a schedule for your own, you might be more active as well as control about the time. Moreover, everything will be done perfectly if you do the same as what you have planned.
     Let’s create one for your own.
