Parts of my life are very regimented. I have checklists for my checklists. I do things in order of importance, methodically, thoroughly… being sandbagged while I’m knee deep in my process often makes me anxious or even angry. It’s not that I can’t handle switching gears or expecting the unexpected, I would just rather take time to reshuffle instead of completely switching gears. I guess you could call me anal, but I know that I have a hard time being flexible sometimes. I know how I want to get from A to B and that’s all that matters. But in life, which is already a true balancing act, we all need to learn to be flexible.
