I've also noticed that people who over invest in their ability to prepare tend to be people who struggle under pressure or to adapt in the moment.

I can comment on this for my wife who suffers from anxiety.

She is very good at planning because she needs to feel in control all the time. You are right that when things don't go as planned and the pressure ramps up she loses her control and makes poor decisions or no decision at all.

It's interesting to me as I am on the opposite side for most of the time.
