Sometimes people work so slowly and cannot use their sense of urgency. For me, I usually need to think ahead of time to do the tasks without any delay. Most people around me keep questioning my way of planning ahead of time. Of course, I just ignore them because they are not the ones who deal with possible challenges in my life.
Are you like me, who tends to think ahead of time?

Smug concentration on the here and now will lead to future sorrow.I agree with you. If you plan ahead of time,you can avoid some unnecessary trouble.

@Shavkat I understand.It's indeed difficult to work with individuals who don't fulfill their responsibilities.

I will usually organize every step of the job myself before I do it. This makes work faster and smoother. Furthermore, work is rarely confused. The only thing I find annoying is that sometimes I feel quite stressed because my mind always has to think :)

I like planning but unfortunately I do more planning than actually doing so I might still be late.

Yes, like you I try to plan. Pretty much most decisions I make I plan ahead, give it thought and will even jot down what it is I'm going to do beforehand. Sometimes urgency or rushing can lead to errors and a poor decision which one might regret later.
This quote provides a good explanation of the importance of planning:
Productivity is never an accident. It is always the result of a commitment to excellence, intelligent planning, and focused effort.
