I feel this too. I've been working in industry since the early 2000s and for me I've known for a while now that I do not want to be a manager. There have been times where I've considered it, but like you, I find organizing, planning, reviewing, coordinating tortuous. I would rather design and implement a system, or work with others to do so, than spend time doing the meta-work to get work done.
That said, to get a title promotion, I've found that you have to do more of the organizing, planning, coordinating stuff to be noticed. Performance reviews are biased towards "the next step" in your career and companies are forever trying to get you to do more "meta-work" which I really dislike.
