In order for George to be an effective planner, George should start his time line the very exact day he started planning and conceiving is plans. In this way, he will be able to heat the iron whilst its is hot, in other words, he will be able to do the things he wanted to do whilst he still has the time, momentum, and strength. In addition, he will be able to carefully monitor his progress and make any changes as soon as he can before he is too late. Starting his planning early enables him to approach is project/plan in a calm way as best as he can without panicking and affords him the opportunity to check his progress now and then.
