Planning

So, I’m in the car with my sister and my cousin who won’t stop chitchatting about their day at school. I am in the front seat of the car thinking and planning. I am thinking on the way that I was going to plan my afternoon in order to do all my homework and have some extra time to rest. Most of the time in a normal day in my life consists of planning. I enjoy planning, having everything organized and ready for all situations. We create our own sort of movie; we visualize it perfect, with no miscalculations. The problem is that this is a dream, and that in real life everything is different, problems occur and not everything is as perfect as we thought it was. “In either case it is unlikely that somewhere laid out in your brain is an actual spatial model of the events you are imagining”. (Pg 59). This shows that yes we can have an imaginary model, but we will never be able to have in our minds reality. “You may see them vividly in your mind’s eyes, or you may see and manipulate stylized abstractions of them (Pg 59)” In our minds we can change everything really easily and fix all problems immediately, problems seem way smaller than they really are. Finally it is very normal to plan in advance, though many times things may not end up the way we want it to be.
