I'm a deadline kind of guy, so I make them up.

Like professional book writers who set themselves to "500 words a day" or so.

So I do a "plan for this month" a "plan for this week" and I start each morning with a "plan for this day". Just being realistic, I realize about half of the plan. Which is better than nothing. But for me, planning is part of the design, so it's sort of fun thinking ahead of nice things to come, and how to avoid the nasty parts.

Sometimes I think that I'm not making my deadlines because I spend too much time planning :).

So - you're not too slow, you're expectations are too high. Lower them, and you find yourself speeding up. Wild guess, that is.

Usually I'm wrong. But to be effective and efficient, I don't need to be correct or accurate.
