Same for me. Not that I never sit back to think of the bigger picture, but I've learned to think at multiple levels at once, so I can think of the higher level design while writing code / comments. I'm usually a bit wary about planning without thinking of the code level because it can quickly result in architecture-astronaut plans which take a lot of decisions prematurely.
