Haha.
I myself don't apply what I'm saying. Seldom do I plan my projects on 
paper. Even when I do put something on paper, it's mininal.

I usually have everything in my head! Which is probably why it takes me 
a loooong time to get things done!!

Fortunately I'm still a student and not in the industry, yet.
