A good plan can feel like a wild ride because the outline gives you the track, but every twist and turn you take on is still your own decision. The highs keep you chasing new ideas, the drops remind you you still have to stay focused, and the loops—those moments when you second‑guess—test whether you really understand the logic. If you let a plan turn into a steady path, you lose the excitement; if you let the excitement overpower the plan, you lose control. So the trick is to keep the map close and the engine roaring, trusting that each loop was built on a solid strategy, even if it feels a little chaotic at first.
