A. You can use I’ll … (I will) when you offer or decide to do something

My bag is very heavy.
I’ll carry it for you.
Bye, I’ll phone you tomorrow, OK?

We often say I think I’ll … / I don’t think I’ll … when we decide to do something:

‘My bag is very heavy.’ ‘I’ll carry it for you.’
‘I’ll phone you tomorrow, OK?’ ‘OK, goodbye.’
I’m tired. I think I’ll go to bed early tonight.
It’s a nice day. I think I’ll sit in the garden.
It’s raining. I don’t think I’ll go out.

Do not use the present simple (I go / I phone etc.) in sentences like these:

I’ll phone you tomorrow, OK? (not I phone you)
I think I’ll go to bed early. (not I go to bed)

B. Do not use I’ll … for something you decided before

I’m working tomorrow. (not I’ll work)
There’s a good film on TV tonight. I’m going to watch it. (not I’ll watch)
What are you doing at the weekend? (not What will you do)
