For me, sometimes either way. At least, that's my subjective self-perception, which is demonstrably not always a correct model for how human brains actually work.

We also sometimes appear to start with a conclusion and then work backwards to try to justify it; we can also repeatedly loop over our solutions in the style of waterfall project management, or do partial solutions and then seek out the next critical thing to do in the style of agile project management.

Many of us also have a private inner voice, which I think LLMs currently lack by default, though they can at least simulate it regardless of what's really going on inside them and us (presumably thanks to training sets that include stories where a character has an inner monologue).
