Usually, the only planning-ahead that I do for my characters is making sure I qualify for whatever PrC I have my eye on. Even then, I may deviate from the plan based on events in-game. It's just too hard to predict what will happen to a character. I can't justify maxing out my swim skill if the party spends a year of game time in the desert.
I plotted out all 20 levels of my last character as an experiment, and found myself changing the plan a number of times along the way. And I only made it up to 8th level with that character...I can only imagine what kinds of changes would have been made if the game had lasted longer.
