If you want to do something in a planned way, if you really need a plan to guide you, and if you want to live a meaningful life, you must make a plan to some extent.

Before we make a plan, we should consider what we want. How long will it take? Generally speaking, after self-understanding and self-positioning, we should first make an evaluation and find out exactly the procedures, methods and resources to realize the plan.

Example of self-assessment (if I work as an electronic engineer in a medium-sized enterprise electronics company)

My present position: electronic engineer, in charge of production planning.

My qualifications: two years and four months.

My supervisor and colleagues: 3 colleagues; The direct supervisor is the director, and then the deputy manager or manager.

1. My plan: to be a senior engineer for about one and a half years. It is planned to be promoted to director or transferred to development engineer within 3 years. 5 to 7 years, as deputy manager or similar position.

2, my limitations: introverted, unwilling to harvest, lack of human relations. Technically, the ability of electronic circuit design is still poor. Playfulness, never working overtime every day and holidays, lack of self-confidence. The ability to solve problems is too weak.

3. How to proceed: Make friends, build good self-confidence, and start with small goals and small successes. Take a problem-solving course (self-funded or self-taught).

4. Assistance required: assistance and encouragement from colleagues in departments and companies. Girlfriend and family support, attend classes at night, and reduce dating. Save money for books, consult teachers or go to the library. Exercise regularly every week to strengthen your will.

5. When the goal is achieved: send small gifts or greeting cards to friends, colleagues and family. Arrange holidays. Make the next plan or goal.

The above steps are rough, you can list more yourself. Each item in each step can also be subdivided. This is just a simple plan for the promotion and transfer of engineers' career. Others, such as planners and business people, can make plans in a similar way.
