Planning is the main way the human agent shapes his or her future actions, so as to realize temporally extended projects. Planning now doesn't presume anything like "control" over future events, let alone give on reason to expect things to work out according to plan. ... In shedding the illusion of control, along with the hope of attaining it, one can stand ready to revise one's plans, on the fly as necessary. Best-laid plans do often go astray. Because why wouldn't one have to adapt? As in surfing, in life.
