I share the same problem for a very long time and the situation gets worse as I grow up.
But recently at least I have more understanding of my problem on this. The most important thing I want to share with you is that:
Not most of things online are not useful to people like me, because the people are different. A lot of advices can be misleading too.(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arj7oStGLkU) this one especially. Because for different people, the procrastination experience is very different.
If you have the same issue as me, the core problem is not actually about planning and decision making. It is about my ability to do things. It's a long essay but I will put the essence here: To some of the people (about half the population as I estimate), there are two way to obtain knowledge, one is learning, the other is training. People tends to acquired knowledge by learning and lack of training will be highly likely to have my kind of procrastination, especially on something we are not really trained on.
The common experience of me doing things is plan things, make time estimates and do it. This sounds familiar but it is extremely different experience among people. As a "learner" although I made the time estimates, I don't really know them well. But with something that I am more comfortable with, I have a special feeling about the time estimates, that will have a strong confidence on that I can finish in a certain time frame. I tend to have no decision hesitations on tasks like this. This is usually the reason that I can finish tasks at the last minute, because usually I will assemble the things I trained more often, and use less the things I learned.
The solution that now I am trying on, is to train more and learn less. Also I have done more things that I already familiar with(with I force myself to do because I need to resist myself considering it as waste of time), to at least know that I can get things done.
Hope this will help you. comment here if you need more clarifications or advices.
