Do you use outlines when you write? Why or why not?

I tend not to use outlines. I start with a general idea of where I'm going and then write it. I may, for a very long story, make a list of things I think need to happen, but that list isn't in any particular order and is subject to change without notice. I find heavy outlining to be too close to writing the story. A detailed outline makes me unlikely to follow through by writing the story.
