Live by the rules and if they don’t exist, I create them! Life needs rules.
I’m ok with rules. Sometimes they need adjusting, though, and I’m all about that when it has to happen.
Rules – yeah, I guess we need them, but I find that I operate much better when I am able to act on instinct instead of rules!

Ugh. I know I probably should have one (you might even have one), but I am really bad at following a routine…I’d rather just go with the flow as the day goes by! Routine bores me.
If someone gives me a routine to follow, I’m pretty good at doing it. I don’t really want to do the same thing every day, but I can put up with it when necessary.

I get excited about new projects, but rarely am interested in working on all the details, all the way through. Often, I start strong but am not so great at finishing.
If I’m missing pieces of a project…

I will search for something similar or make new ones so that I have the required pieces.

Super organized.

Pretty organized but not a neat freak.
When someone interrupts me with something I find interesting, I…

Put up with it, and make it work in my schedule.
Get super annoyed. I don’t care if it’s interesting, I need to get my stuff done and I hate to be interrupted.
If it’s interesting, I (possibly secretly) love interruptions. Change in the day energizes me!
