The thing with outlining and being a planner is that all of your creativity is front-loaded. It isn't a less creative process than pantsing, it's just done differently and you don't, at least IMO, waste as much time as many pantsers do throwing ideas at the wall and hoping something sticks. Whatever works for you is really all that matters, but the goal is finishing books and if you don't, then no matter what method you're using, it's failing you.
The way I do it takes about 2 weeks of setup on average. That's not from having absolutely nothing to a completed outline, I already know the basics of the next 13 books I'll be writing, from overall plot to basic characters, etc. I never go into a project blind. I will take that information and sit down and create a Scrivener document if I haven't already done so. Then I'll put together an outline and anything that lets you put together numbered lists works. Start with two points, the first idea you have for the story and the last. The beginning and the end. Whatever you've got. Put those into your story as #1 and #2. Come up with new ideas. What goes between #1 and #2? Figure something out and add it. #2 becomes #3 and you continue. Keep your story structure in mind, or keep a list of story beats nearby so that you can plan them into your story. Do this until you have a complete story at the chapter level. If you get good at this, you've just defined your chapter structure, every number is a chapter. Then I create those chapters, move the descriptions into each chapter and continue to do scene breakdowns. By the time I'm finished, I have the entire book laid out down to individual scenes within my chapters. It's just a matter of writing the prose. I already know the story works, I just have to go into the individual chapters and write the next scene.
Ultimately, do what works for you. Don't just say "I want to outline" if you hate outlining. It won't work for you. So long as you finish books, it doesn't matter. If you don't finish, that's where you have to figure out what's wrong.
