I don't. I might follow through most of the time but I never stick to plan 100%, and I just realized this today...
I was in the gym doing deadlifts. After two sets I realized that I've done the stronglifts program before but never for more than a few days before altering the program. That's why I have no idea what kind of results I could get if I actually stuck with the program.
As soon as I recorded a little video note for myself about this realization I went into the third set.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5... Shit..
I was only supposed to do 1 rep. It's been 3 seconds and I already deviated from the program.
Maybe it's not a big deal with weight lifting, but I do the same thing in business. I make plans and processes and then never follow them closely enough to measure results and adjust the system. It's getting to the point where I'm stuck as the bottleneck of my business.
So, what do I do about this? I know I need to learn how to follow plans so I can be more consistent and build better systems in my business.
Another option is to team up with someone that naturally sticks to plan, but I'm one that likes to improve my weaknesses.
I bet there's other people out there like me. Are you like me? Do you improvise everything? Do you make detailed plans only to go off and make it up as you go?
