Without getting overall perspective on the day and deciding the pieces and timing of what will accomplish the highest value, you cannot live only a small bit of a life compared to the level of happiness, achievement and fulfillment you potentially could get out of life - with vastly more of what you want in life. , plus much more of what you want in life.
Too much hassle? Well, 15 minutes of planning saves 150+ minutes of time, plus it makes one's day vastly more productive in terms of value.

The results of letting that slip varied from getting to the end of the day and wondering what I did with the day, not making much progress on what was most important, piles of undones and lots of "messes" - and a vague sense of lack of accomplishment together with a bit of feeling "short" of what I expected of myself (called the Unhappiness Gap).
