It might be about creating a query or writing a program. How long do you usually spend planning?
P.S:
Typically I don't spend much time planning, just start with the flow and continue, but recently I've struggled a lot because of poor planning...

Always consider the plan.
The complexity of the task influences the approach.
For straightforward issues, simple queries suffice.
When dealing with more intricate problems, utilize a wizard to draft the main structure and refine it later.
Identify existing queries or code that match your needs, adapting them as required.
This method applies equally to program writing.
Are you comfortable with flowcharts? They may seem outdated, but a well-designed one serves as a clear strategy.
Follow standard symbols and practices to create simple or detailed diagrams.
Visualize each step clearly, whether handling a query or a program.
Keep in mind that a flowchart is a valuable aid—use it wisely and fit it to your situation.
Plan and implement accordingly.

I continue to rely on traditional techniques, such as Flow Charts and for Accounting T accounts.
