Plans (or tasks) could be presented as blackboxes, which consume X and output Y.
X is:
money
time
other material or immaterial resources (contacts, objects)
information about situation
plan of action
opportunity cost
Y is a desired output, which consists of:
The direct planned output which is a resource for other tasks (money, capabilities, knowledge, effect on other people opinion about my product). There is important difference here between 90 per cent of result and 100 per cent. 90 per cent is a situation when you wrote an email but didn’t send it. The best outcome of a plan is 120 per cent result.
My emotions and stress in the process of the implementation of the plan.
Collateral output: what I will learn while implementing the plan, and which other useful things I can do during it. 120-per-cent-result is partly based on getting many good secondary goals achieved simultaneously. For example, I will not only go to a conference, but also will visit my friends in the same city, practice my communication skills and find the next conference on the topic.
Risks: what very bad things could happen? Accidents, theft. Risks are not desired, but they are part of the output.
