Objectives and plans go hand-in-hand

Objectives are of the form – what do I want? Plans are of the form - how do I obtain that? We plan in everyday life. I realize that I want a new pair of shoes. I think - how do I get them - and I can come up with a plan to reach my objective. Often, I learn later that my objective was not clear enough. Like a piece of ice I have to chip away at it – what kind of shoes? What brand? Why that kind? Before I set foot in a store, I refine my objective and my plan together, and each becomes more focused.
