Literary notes about planning (AI summary)
In literature, the term “planning” is portrayed in a rich variety of contexts that reflect both the practical and the psychological aspects of human activity. Some authors use it to denote strategic, often militaristic, foresight—as seen in texts on warfare and operations [1, 2, 3, 4] where planning becomes a systematic, calculated process. In contrast, many narratives present planning as part of everyday life or personal ambition: characters in adventures and domestic dramas engage in planning their escapes [5, 6] or even their marriages and daily routines [7, 8, 9]. Other works reveal planning as an internal, almost dreamlike musing that underpins creative thought and emotional reflection [10, 11, 12, 13, 14]. Thus, across genres—from military strategy to intimate domesticity and introspective daydreams—the concept of planning embodies both the deliberate construction of future actions and the spontaneous orchestration of one’s inner life.
