Some remarks:

+ The appeal of optimally planning is that it's easier than hard work. If you want a project done, work on it. Working on projects is not only the simplest thing that might work, working on projects is the fastest way to get them done.

+ Shopping for tools is also easier than working with what you have on hand. If you don't know what you need to buy, don't shop.

+ There's nothing wrong with learning new tools, and learning new tools is often more fun than hard work. That makes learning new tools attractive. But it is not doing hard work.

Success lies in what you make, not in what you plan to make, and hard work feels like hard work. If it doesn't feel like hard work, it isn't. Good luck.
