Planning is the process of thinking about the activities required to achieve a desired goal.

It is the
first and foremost activity to achieve desired results. It involves the creation and maintenance of
a plan, such as psychological aspects that require conceptual skills. There are even a couple of tests
to measure someone’s capability of planning well. As such, planning is a fundamental property of
intelligent behavior. An important further meaning, often just called "planning" is the legal context of
permitted building developments.
Also, planning has a specific process and is necessary for multiple occupations (particularly in fields
such as management, business, etc.). In each field there are different types of plans that help
companies achieve efficiency and effectiveness. An important, albeit often ignored aspect of
planning, is the relationship it holds to forecasting. Forecasting can be described as predicting what
the future will look like, whereas planning predicts what the future should look like for multiple
scenarios. Planning combines forecasting with preparationof scenarios and how to react to them.
Planning is one of the most important project management and time management techniques.
Planning is preparing a sequence of action steps to achieve some specific goal. If a person does it
effectively, they can reduce much the necessary time and effort of achieving the goal. A plan is like a
map. When following a plan, a person can see how much they have progressed towards their project
goal and how far they are from their destination.

The Striatum; part of the basal ganglia; neural pathways between the striatum and the frontal lobehave been
implicated in planning function.

Planning is one of the executive functions of the brain, encompassing the neurological processes
involved in the formulation, evaluation and selection of a sequence of thoughts and actions to
achieve a desired goal. Various studies utilizing a combination of neuropsychological,
neuropharmacological and functional neuroimaging approaches have suggested there is a positive
relationship between impaired planning ability and damage to the frontal lobe.
