Acharya Prashant addresses the common struggle of failing to adhere to strict schedules and plans. He suggests that if a plan fails because one is deeply absorbed in a meaningful activity, it is a positive development. He emphasizes that life should not be lived as a slave to rigid schedules or societal timelines, such as specific ages for degrees, marriage, or children. While basic planning is necessary for logistical tasks like catching a train, living life solely by a plan is often a product of fear and a desire for a false sense of control.
