I've always been a "wing it" kind of girl. I always end up breaking my plans anyway. I make a short list of stuff to get done for the day (and sadly it usually includes going to work or class to make sure I actually do those) and otherwise I go wherever fortune takes me. I get stressed out when I have a list of stuff that doesn't get done, I just feel like my day belongs on the trash heap of time or I failed at life or something. But a short list of stuff completed makes me feel good.

I've always been uncomfortable with too much routine (though a little is good). I feel like I get too set into plans and it impedes my ability to be flexible, which is always important to me and I can't figure out why it should be. I don't keep a lot of stuff around; if I want to pack up the car and disappear, I feel like I should be able to. And there's no reason I should WANT to disappear, but I've always felt much better knowing I wasn't tied down to one place.
