There's nothing wrong with planning, as long as you aren't torn apart when your plans don't work out. I'm not that way, sure I get disappointed but I'm pretty flexible. I guess the struggle is more between contentment in the present versus anticipation of the future. I realize ultimately that I am not in charge and my idea of how my day is gonna be, is merely and idea. If I have a plan, then I can be prepared. Therefore it may be more about being prepared than really having something planned. I know that although I plan ahead it doesn't necessarily mean I'm unhappy with what's happening today. So planning ahead and having your mind in the future is not the equivalent of being disconnected or unhappy with the present.
I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason and occurs in God's timing. So fretting and planning are not going to change the course God has for us. Anticipation of future events is more of a faith and trust thing. You look forward, anticipate, hope and expect things to happen. Does that mean you're not happy with the part of the path you're on right now? Nope, I don't think so, just means you're excited about what God has for you in the future and you are trusting that it will be revealed in His time and in His way.
