Plan of Attack?

It seems like for a great number of things, we have a plan of attack. We create a plan to tackle assignments whether work, school, or both. It seems some people make more plans than others. For some things should we have a plan of attack?

I am heading back to college this Friday. I know I will have some letters waiting for me. Do I make a plan of attack for that weekend or no?

I already made a checking my mail schedule. Check it twice a week, Wednesday and Friday.

I guess with things we enjoy, we should enjoy them and not make a plan of attack. But, you make a plan when you have a lot of letters to write? Or just in general, do you make many plans of attack in your daily life?
