<p>Planning lets people impose order on the chaotic processes of making or doing something new. Too much planning, however, can lead people to follow the same predetermined course of action, to do things the same way they were done before. Creative thinking is about breaking free from the way that things have always been. That is why it is vital for people to know the difference between good planning and too much planning.

<p>Albert Einstein, one of the greatest minds of the twentieth century, once said, "If I had an hour to save the world, I would spend 50 minutes planning my rescue and 10 minutes implementing my plan." Einstein recognized the importance and power of planning. Planning is a powerful tool and allows one to effectively channel his or her creativity. Planning is a crucial step of the creative process, and without it, creativity is limited. In the realms of music and writing, artists have repeatedly demonstrated that planning maximizes creativity.</p>
<p>Since the inception of modern music in the sixteenth century, composers have shown that planning is a vital part of the creative process. From European baroque composers to American jazz artists, musicians have demonstrated the importance of planning. Johann Sebastian Bach, the greatest of the baroque composers spent months composing his inventions and fugues. Bach meticulously orchestrated every little note and nuance; every aspect of his music was carefully constructed. Back never neglected the importance of planning his music and rose to be one of the most influential musical figures of all time. SImilarly, the late American jazz pianist, Bill Evans, tirelessly orchestrated every note of his arrangements of popular jazz standards. Even in the realm of jazz, an improvised style of music, musicians have taken careful measures to plan their music. </p>
<p>Similarly, throughout history great writers have never ceased to aknowledge the importance of planning. Mark Twain, who some regard as the great American author, meticulously planned every aspect of his magnum-opus, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Twain spend many years of his life studying and memorizing everything he could about the Mississppi River. The author knew he wanted to write a novel about the American West, so he spent a great deal of time analyzing the United States frontier. Twain's studies of the west were part of his larger plan to write Huck Finn. If Twain had failed to execute the early parts of his plan, he would have never written the great American novel.</p>
<p>Creativity can only exist with planning. An artist who fails to plan will never achieve his or her creative potential.</p>
