When you plan something, think of what you want the end result to be. Begin each day, task, or project with a clear idea of what you want the "destination" or "result" to be. For example, if you are planning a lesson for students, you might say, "At the end of this lesson, I want my students to be able to use the expression "used to" correctly. Then you ask yourself, how can I do this? Then you plan the steps you will need to take so that you are successful in your goal.
