Plan Ahead

     In the  USA Weekend insert of the Schenectady Daily Gazette, July 21st, 2013 page four, there was a headline entitled "Plan Ahead."   Although "plan ahead" is technically grammatical, it is an expression that bothers me because it is redundant.  I believe redundancy leads to lower quality writing.  How else do you plan if you do not plan ahead?   This is just my little pet peeve that I forgot to mention at the beginning of this course.  Oh well.
