I hate to be the AV police, but I have found it helpful when people have done it to me, so I'm doing it to you. I hope you will take it with the spirit it is intended, and I hope someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

The word "hope" is AV. You don't have to hope anything, because you are steering the ship.
If you've made your Big Plan, it's done. It's not something you ever have to do again. I don't think it's a plan of action, because it's pretty passive: You hear AV, you dismiss it as AV. Wash, rinse, repeat. Sometimes it's easy, sometimes it's difficult, but it never requires action.
The beast can't make you do anything against your will. It is a paper tiger.
