Tips
memory
处心 = to set one's mind on, 积虑 = to accumulate deliberation. Someone who 处心积虑 has been quietly thinking and plotting for a long time. It always implies negative intent.
mistakes
处心积虑 always carries a negative connotation. It cannot be used to describe diligent planning with good intentions — use 精心策划 instead for positive contexts.
