Hello, question owner! I'm Yuyi.
The questioner seems to be a sweet little person who knows how to plan. She has her own plan, but when it comes time to do it, she gets lazy again, and then starts to regret it, and it just keeps repeating. So she feels very annoyed, but doesn't know how to change it.
It's also easy to overthink things and not even know where they come from.
Let's talk through these issues together and find the approach that works best for you:
Once your plan is ready, you can start putting it into action right away. Don't wait until the last minute. Taking action is the first step in any plan. It's how you show that your plan is more than just a plan on paper. If you don't take action, your plan will stay just that: a plan.
When you're putting together your own plan, you can make it shorter to make it easier to achieve, because plans can't always keep up with changes.

You said you get lazy when it comes to planning. You can force yourself to take action and implement, even if it's just a little. That's better than not doing anything at all. If you don't implement because you're lazy, then you may never implement. If you try, you might succeed. If you don't even try, you'll never know. So, get moving, even if it's just a little.
There's no cure for regret. It doesn't help anyone and just leads to more regret and internal conflict. I think you know that regret is pointless, but you can't stop thinking about it.
You could use the time you'd otherwise spend regretting to go ahead with your plans, do the things you enjoy, keep yourself busy, and distract yourself from dwelling on regret. It might be tough at first, but it'll be worth it in the end.
It's easy to overthink. We all do it more in certain situations. Think about when you're most likely to overthink. You can avoid these situations.
When you're not working, you can let your mind wander without worrying about what you're thinking. Sometimes thinking is a way to develop your thinking. So don't worry about thinking too much. Just watch it like watching a movie.
I wish you the best of luck in finding a method that works for you and in becoming the best version of yourself!

I totally get what you're going through. Sometimes I make plans too, but when it's time to execute, the motivation just drains away. Later, I end up wishing I had taken action sooner. It's a frustrating cycle that leaves me feeling quite uneasy as well.
It sounds like you're caught in a tough spot. When I feel lazy and then regretful afterwards, I try to break tasks into tiny steps. It helps reduce the overwhelming feeling and makes it easier to start. Maybe this could work for you too.
The struggle is real. I also tend to overthink things until they spiral out of control in my mind. Finding someone to talk to about these thoughts can sometimes help sort them out and bring some clarity.
Sometimes I feel like my parents worry about me too much as well. It's hard because I want their support but also need space to figure things out on my own. It's all about finding that balance.
I understand the restlessness you're experiencing. It might be helpful to set smaller, more achievable goals that can build momentum. And don't forget to celebrate the little victories along the way!
