Ruby Charlot asked Colleen Hoover:

I have noticed on a few Instagram stories of yours, that you plan your novels out. Has that always been the case or are you a reformed pantser? I find it so hard to outline!

Colleen Hoover Okay, so I have a lot of good intentions. Sometimes, maybe twice a year, I'll plan out a calendar, but I've never once stuck to it. I always outline my books, but I've never stuck to an outline. Basically, I'm a wannabe planner, but am 100% a pantser. It does help to make outlines I'll never use, though. Sometimes while I write the outline, it takes me in a direction I wouldn't have thought of if I didn't waste time outlining, so it's not a complete loss.
