If you feel all of your planning/organization always falls apart what you have to ask yourself is "are you a bottom or a top"?
A bottom person may have a general idea of the outcome they want. They take things step by step from the bottom to the end product.
A top person has a very specific idea of the outcome they want. They have it all laid out in their heads and then work from the top down.
An example would be someone that wants to build a house.
A bottom person might search for the perfect lot before they ever decide for sure what kind of house they want on it. Even when they get a lot, they will start the planning by how much money they have to spend, how much time, and what basic needs they have. Things may get bigger as it progresses due to circumstance, or smaller.
A top person has the vision of the perfect lot and the house already in their head. If the perfect lot doesn't exist, they will change it so it conforms. They know the square footage, they know the tile they are using before the foundation is poured. They change things to conform to what they have in their head where a bottom person will change things as they go and get a clearer picture.
So figure out whether you are planning as a top or bottom and try doing it the other way around. It may help
