I much prefer routine to flying by the seat of my pants. I like my life, my days to be organized. When they aren't, I feel "off" all day.

I was very regimented and Type A when I worked. Now that I'm retired, I go by the seat of my pants a lot. I'm no longer Type A and wish I'd learned the benefits of that a loooooong time ago.
I still make lists but it may take days to get it done. If it's nice out, I might work in the yard instead of working from the list. Or I just might not feel like doing anything on my list. Whatever happens is ok with me.

Wow -- I am worn out reading about your day! That's amazing all the things you accomplish!
I don't think that either one really describes me. I don't like each day to be laid out for me. I get bored easily and hate to have everything set in stone or planned to the T. I like some order to my life, and if I know that I have a number of chores or things that need done, I will make a list and check them off, and this is satisfying!
However, I feel edgey and restrained by timetables and the thought that I must do this or I must do that. I think a lot of it comes from 2 things -- when I was young, I always had to do a lot of chores and things on schedule, and as an adult, I worked steadily from the time I was 18 and always punched the clock and had to follow someone else's schedule. I like things to unfold organically and I like surprises and to do things not planned. I guess it's not the most organized way to live, but it suits me better.

@Shanus It really isn't LOL. You can't say, "I'll pick you up between 10:00 and 10:30 tomorrow morning.?
She insists on knowing if it's going to be closer to 10 or 10:30. She called my sister 3 times, when they had plans, to get their departure time down to the minute. They were just going to grab a bite to eat. It's maddening.
I have 27 1st cousins and luckily she is the only one like that.
