"I will use driving a car as the metaphor. The plan is your destination. Then you make other plans like navigating traffic. The formlessness is the gear changes, clutch, breaks and so on. You need both at once."
Do you practice driving the car when it is not moving, maybe clutch and shift to mechanical get the feel, but without traffic or a road moving under you , you have nothing to base your shifting and turning on. I use the car analogy sometimes too ,but I say do you plan when you are going to turn the wheel and hit the brakes before you start driving.
