LESSON OUTLINE 1: FACTORS AFFECTING

EFFECTIVE PLANNING

The teacher should take time to explain that:

For planning to be effective, the following must be considered:

  1. Vision: To plan effectively, you must have a vision of what you are trying to achieve. Vision sets the direction, guides priorities and informs decision-making (Habakkuk 2:2-3; Proverbs 29:18). Without vision, plans are aimless and unmotivated.
  2. Goals: Without specific and measurable goals, planning becomes vague and unproductive. Clear objectives provide focus and ensure that progress can be evaluated (Proverbs 21:5).
  3. Delegation: This allows you to hand a job off to someone who can complete it successfully. When you focus on more important tasks (Exodus 18:13-23). Delegation prevents burnout.
  4. Timing: Beginning the day early, with prayer and purpose, sets the tone for a successful and fulfilling day. A late start or procrastination often results in inefficiency and missed opportunities.

Proverbs 6:9-11 warns against laziness, describing it as the root of poverty and unproductiveness.

  1. Faith: It plays a significant role in planning, especially when faced with uncertainty. Trust in God to guide your efforts and provide the resources needed to fulfil your plans (Mark 11:22-24).
  2. Obedience: It is key to aligning your plans with God’s will (1 Samuel 15:22-23). Disobedience to God’s instructions can derail even the most well-thought-out plans.

In addition, effective planning must be done with God’s guidance (Proverbs 3:5-6), wisdom (Proverbs 24:3-4), flexibility and right priorities (Matthew 6:33).

CLASS ACTIVITY 1: Can you relate planning to any management theory (e.g. Henry Fayol, SWOT analysis, etc.?)

LESSON OUTLINE 2: BENEFITS OF EFFECTIVE PLANNING

Some benefits of effective planning are:

  1. It helps you to realise your goals: when you plan effectively, you will realise your goals within the stipulated time.
  2. It relieves stress: It provides a structured approach to tackling tasks. When plans are in place, the overwhelming feeling of being unprepared is eliminated (Luke 14:28-30).
  3. Increases productivity: Clear plans enable focused efforts, leading to maximum productivity. With priorities and steps defined, distractions are minimized, and output is maximised (Proverbs 21:5).
  4. Increases accomplishment. Planning allows you to achieve results worthy of commendation (Matthew 25:21).
  5. It results in more opportunities: Effective planning avails you time for other things outside the routines (Ecclesiastes 3:1).

Effective planning is needed in our day-to-day activities to help avoid burnout, stress, frustration, depression, non-productivity, etc.

CLASS ACTIVITY 2: What can you do to plan your day effectively?

CONCLUSION: Effective planning will help you to reach your desired goal.

EVALUATION: Mention four factors affecting planning.

CLOSING PRAYER: I am smart in Jesus’ name.

ASSIGNMENT: Students should identify five factors that can impede effective planning (2×5=10 Marks).
