Step1: decide wether you want to live or not
Step2:
case1: if decision is to live: never ever think on suicide
case2: if decision is to suicide: fix a date, prepare things and go ahead with it.
step3: I think case 2 has less human suffering because suffering = your suicide date – your age
else suffering = 80 years – your age

The logic doesn’t strike me as particularly sound. 80 years is a guess, maybe 50% if you reach the middle class in a Western nation and care for your body. You’re right about it being hard to plan and conduct a suicide on a schedule–it’s such a fearsome deed that it commands hesitation, misstep, or impulse the whole way.
Suffering is there, and you may have some of it. It’s of a package deal that comes with life.
Wishing the best to you.
