Failing to plan vs analysis paralysing

[josh_ting]

This is an interesting experience which I've had and I'm wondering whether or fastlaner have had similar experiences.

So I started doing webdesign a few months bad and things are going ok, taking on clients, getting projects done. But things are pretty adhoc alongside balancing med school and a sales job I have. I would plan the next day the night before. I realised that I have no trouble taking action, but these actions don't seem to go align towards a greater purpose, as I was planning on a daily basis, a very zoomed-in view. To be honest,I'm just winging it as things come in.

So these last few days I decided, I am going to plan for the year, then break it down into quarters and months, then weeks, then days so that my daily actions are aligned. But an interesting happened, I became so confused and paralyzed about what to do next. Analysis paralysis I guess. Now I dont even know what to focus on tomorrow.

I know they say failing to plan is planning to fail, but why is it that the planning process paralyzes people?
