As is customary for many, the beginning of a year is a time to set new goals and or revive old ones, and for this, attitude and planning are essential to success; and the year that has just ended has taught us that we must be cautious and that our planning must be different from what we had considered before.
A year ago we were planning our 2020, and I am sure that many could not imagine what it would be, so I think that for the vast majority those plans changed more than once, I include myself in the list.
And even with the presence of covid-19 in our reality, we are forced to be more flexible and learn to manage uncertainty. We are always going to find a certain level of uncertainty when we consider undertaking a productive activity, especially when it is a business. However, the levels of uncertainty that we handled last year surely surpassed any proposed scenario, but that is no excuse for not planning this year; on the contrary, it is a condition that forces us to develop more flexible planning with more solid strategic thinking.
Not planning in times of uncertainty can be a serious mistake, which usually leads us to improvise along the way, and improvisations have the bad habit of making us make mistakes.
So, as a result of last year's events, we must make changes in the way we have planned in previous years. And in my view, there are three important changes we must consider in our plans for 2021.

Planning for the short term: perhaps adjusting to an annual plan is not the most convenient given the levels of uncertainty we have been dealing with, perhaps setting quarterly goals and adjusting them progressively is a more reasonable option.
Leave more space for flexibility: for the same circumstances, with high levels of uncertainty we must leave more space for maneuver.
Innovate and diversify: with such difficult markets and new restrictions, given the upturn in many countries, I believe that we must be very creative if we have decided to plan a venture, the traditional options are not working for the current circumstances, and at the same time, they give us the opportunity to innovate. And we should also consider diversifying our options, as this will give us more possibilities to handle unexpected situations.
I believe that just as when we drive in the rain, that our visibility is limited, we must be more careful and pay more attention to the next few meters, and not to the next few kilometers, and put our skills to the best use if an obstacle suddenly appears.
Just as every year we must reflect on what we achieved last year, look at the current situation and set ourselves realistic and measurable goals. But I think we should set ourselves goals that we can achieve in the first quarter of the year and adjust them for the next quarter. That will allow us to better handle changing circumstances and adjust our work accordingly, giving us more room to be flexible.
This year we should not look at planning as a heavy and rigid task, look at this moment as an opportunity to reinvent yourself, reinvent your business, and open yourself to new proposals, think that you can do differently to satisfy a need; and evaluate your goals in a short term to minimize risks and make the necessary changes.
I am planning a new venture, more adjusted to the circumstances and that can be scalable, for which I need to train in some areas, so that will be part of my first quarter, it will also be part of it to maintain my activity in the platforms of Hive and steemit, and expand my knowledge about the cryptographic world to take advantage of other opportunities beyond the mentioned platforms, which have been the center and pillar of my activity in the world of the block chain
Well friends, I hope that this 2021 comes loaded with good things for everyone, but if we want to take better advantage of the circumstances we must make a realistic planning of our objectives. My best wishes for prosperity for all.
Thanks for coming by to read friends, I hope you liked the information. See you next time.
Greetings is good to have a life plan with good planning and long and medium term strategies to reach our goal that we can accomplish.
Definitely my friend @newton666, if we want to achieve our goals we must have a good plan to reach them.
Hello my dear friend @emiliomoron, you are absolutely right, there must be a planning on our objectives, in order to achieve them in time and adapted to the context in which we are. Improvisation can bring us big problems.
See you later brother, have a lot of successes, this new year !
Greetings friend @amestyj, a big hug and my best wishes to you also this 2021. Certainly we can't move forward if we just keep improvising, we need a plan adapted to the reality of the environment.
Especially this year it is very important to make plans according to the circumstances, I think that planning in the short term and reassessing the context is a good idea.
No doubt @yusvelasquez, given this condition that still persists with more reason we must make better adapted and flexible plans.

Hello friend, happy year, I hope this year is full of great blessings for all. Certainly we must plan and make a compilation of those things that were missing in 2020 what we did and did not do, we can reinvent ourselves this year and make all those goals and frustrated objectives possible. Greetings.
Hello friend @franyeligonzalez, many blessings to you this new year. Our plans for this year should start from a reflection of the achievement reached last year, to adjust and reinvent ourselves as you mention, this is the opportunity. Greetings!
Greetings friend @emiliomoron
Certainly despite any adverse scenarios, it is necessary to focus and set new goals, and when it comes to a new year, the feeling of being able to meet these goals is a matter that we yearn for most strongly, now I rescue your appreciation, when you say that you do not planning in times of uncertainty can be a serious mistake, because as biological beings, we are obliged to overcome barriers and evolve, therefore, in the social scenario, the planning element is imperative in order to overcome any adverse scenario. Thanks for this contribution. Happy New Year, I wish 2021 to be one of great advances and blessings for you and your family.
Greetings friend @lupafilotaxia. We must take advantage of the energies that the new year brings to make plans based on our wishes for this new period of time. That given the circumstances that will remain even for a long time, we need to plan considering any adverse scenario, as you say, we are obliged to overcome these barriers. And thanks to you for your comment, I also wish you many blessings and success in the projects you have set out to do.
There is no doubt that we have to reinvent ourselves in new ways, and for that purpose creativity is important for the development that many of us have in this new year 2021.
Greetings @emiliomoron and thanks for sharing
