Good intentions are no use to anyone

“It’s not who we are underneath, but what we do that defines us.” -Rachel Dawes in Batman Begins

You can be the cleverest, most talented planner in the universe.

You can constantly look at great work and game changing thinking thinking I can do that.

You can make yourself feel better about the percieved gap between the output of where you work and the places you'd maybe like to work.

You can blame the kind of clients you have, the culture and skills of where you work or anything else that removes responsibility from yourself.

But it really doesn't matter how you feel and how great things could be, if only fo this or that.

All that matters is what you do about it.

Stop talking about how great you could make things. Look hard at what's in the way, find the fundamental problems and figure out how to solve them.

In other words, be a planner.

You mean be a 'proper' planner.
