I think people have begun to fetishize their actual plan. It's an excuse to not do any of the real "hard" work, but rather plan to do it. The planning feels great because it really isn't all that difficult. Look at all these colors and percentages! I'm doing something!
Obviously this isn't true for everyone. But I've found focused plans are much better than trying to juggle 3 million things. It'll lead to burnout.

I do shopping lists. If we're entertaining, we do a plan to ensure we get the food and drink ready in time. That's about it.
There's a packing list for the beach, but we haven't used it in years and years: life's too short for being driven by an organising principle.
Agreed.
