I am a creature of routine

I always have been since I was small. I am happier and seem the thrive better when I have things to do.  This could simply be the fact that it keeps boredom away.  But I like feeling useful like I've accomplished something.

I like being able to go "I have A at this time. B at this time & C at this time" and work around that.  I see it as a puzzle or game of sorts.

When I don't have routine, everything else falls to shit.  I have come to this realization.  I understand most of you are going "Why the hell doesn't she use habit instead of routine?"

Well, that's because I like a bit of flexibility with my routines. I like having a basic structure.

Up at 9am
Restroom
Breakfast
Meds
Brush Teeth

Stuff that's normal everyday basic but I also like being able to go  "Let's go to a movie."  when I have free time or be able to see that "YES! I do have time to write on my manuscript."

I know this second post is rambely and long long long over due...but here it is.

Oh, on a side note:  I've found I'm much more focused when I have one solid thing to work around.  Like work or school.
