how do you go about outlining a story? do you dedicate certain amount of time/words to scenes?
I realized my problem with writing is that I start and have no real direction. I don't know how to progress things and keep the ball moving so I really need some good outlining/basic plot skills

Try making interesting characters that have a plot tied to them. You can write about anything, so just describe what someone does.

I'm actually having trouble with this as well. I've been slow cooking the plot for a novel for a few months now, and I've got a few scenes burned into my mind, they're so clear I can see them playing out whenever I think of them or write down excerpts from them. But everything is so scattered and disconnected that I have trouble reconciling the sum of the whole with the final product itself.

Is there a certain outline or goal I should have while I'm writing these seemingly disconnected scenes, or should I just micromanage everything and hope I can plaster it all together in the end?

Sometimes it comes naturaly, but others I need to come with something meaningfull to connect A to B.
I usualy try to avoid unecessary filler, unless I think that fillers are related to the plot or meaning of the book.
