In the book MJ talks about how business plans are worthless and what you have previously done is way more important if you are seeking capital from investors.
However i believe planning in general is very important before execution. Like Brian Tracey saids, every minute spent planning saves 5-10 minutes in execution. I think listing the action steps and crossing them of as you go is a good way to go about it, rather then keeping track of your project mentally.
I personally use excel to keep track of goals, and daily tasks. And without it, i would be very disorganized.
