A couple of comment threads have had me reflecting on my tendancy to make plans a lot, particularly in response to feeling unhappy in a situation. And as the trend seems to be to post a poll for any musings of this nature, I present a very short poll on planning :)

With my own plans, it depends on what it is and who else is involved and what needs to be done. I tend to ruminate over some things and then go off and fulfill them spontaneously (3 weeks of "I want a new car, maybe with these options followed by OMG! want car now! I stopped by the dealership earlier! Wheeee!).
I like to be planny, but I also can be very indecisive. I like having someone to talk to to help me make the decision, but I don't always have the ability to make it. OTOH, sometimes I have a plan and don't want any input at all from anyone else, kthxbai.
