I'm a planner. I have a small monthly calendar on the fridge, and at the beginning of every month I plan the month's dinners. I research decisions, everything from buying household items to planning trips. (I wish that were a thing right now!) I think one of the things I love about Disney vacations is that I can plan them out for months and months ahead of time, LOL! I make to-do lists and pre-Covid I used my planner for everything. (These days I can fit all of our few commitments on the wall calendar that I used to use for only the kids' commitments.)
I'm great at researching and planning things like household routines/purchases, a daily schedule, work stuff, and big trips. But where I fail epically is in being the family's activities director. I need to do more planning about our weekends--when I don't plan things, we do nothing. And some of the time that's fine because we like lazy weekends at home, but we do too many of them.
