I always have at least 5 years in the future planned ahead. But usually it's just big decisions... or decisions that I know will require more details later. I can honestly make an accurate guess about where I will be in 1, 2, or even 5 years from now. I would say that I get less flexible as the amount of time decreases (I remember a thread on how an ISTJ was upset with changing plans on different locations of Denny's?). It's like that- I can change my mind a million times about things that are 5 years in the future, but the less likely I am to change my mind as time decreases. If I made up my mind to go to Starbucks with friends on Saturday at 3PM, then it will take a lot to get me to be okay with changing the time. If my friends ended up changing places- then I would throw a tantrum inside my head and attempt my hardest to smile on the outside.
As for schoolwork- I am usually pretty honest with myself and my illness (aka procrastination). I will actually plan out my procrastination. Some things I know are far too important to allow procrastination to get in the way- so I take extra care to plan those things out. But all of this planning is inside my head... I tried using a planner this past school year- it didn't work out as I had planned. I think it was still beneficial- I never thought that it would help me visualize my time more.
