This weekend I saw a BuzzFeed list circulating about Type A personalities, which of course I had to read. Man...it was me to a T! I think everything applied to me except for like two of the points.
Here is the article: "28 Problems Every Type-A Personality Will Understand."
And this is my personal take on the points...
1. Not being stressed does stress me out. I thrive on stress I think.
2. I do need everything done ASAP. My husband reiterated this to me. I'm always working on deadlines set by no one but myself.
3. I HATE BEING LATE! I have a panic attack if I'm late.
4. This one doesn't really apply to me...I sometimes take quite a while to reply to emails or texts. Depends on the day I suppose...
5. I am a total wreck until my project is complete. I can't think about anything else.
6. I HATE WHEN PEOPLE TELL ME TO CALM DOWN OR RELAX! It isn't that easy!
7. Yes, and even when I'm relaxing it is regimented.
8. Weekends are definitely not for relaxing! They are win I work on my ultimate to-do lists and run lots of errands.
9. Dating wasn't really hard because Dennis definitely has some Type A tendencies.
10. I really don't like notifications that are unchecked.
11. Dennis' desktop is my nightmare. Too many items on the desktop!
12. Unless for some crazy reason, I have extra time I do hate waiting in line. The G6 needs air in the tires but I wouldn't wait yesterday in the line, so I'm just driving on really low air pressure.
13. I can not waste time. I always feel like I am though.
14. I would say I'm pretty competitive.
15. I probably wouldn't say everything in life for me is a competition though.
16. My to-do list is my guidebook for life. I would not survive without it.
(Case in point. My work planner and my non work planner.)
17. I normally just have Post-Its everywhere. My planner has Post-Its stuck everywhere.
18. My calendar is ridiculous. I schedule bills and workouts too.
(And this is just my personal calendar! Google Sync wouldn't work, so this doesn't even include my work meetings, etc. which are below.)
19. I'm not gonna lie. My books are color coded in the office at home. Not sure if I like it though...
20. I definitely do more than two things at a time.
21. I can't handle not being in charge of group projects because then nothing gets done!
22. Slow walkers are like my biggest pet peeve.
23. No one can keep up with my pace! Ha ha!
24. I don't do all nighters. I've only ever done one when I was rewriting my honors thesis because I didn't like it. Ha ha!
25. I can't procrastinate. It's impossible.
26. I don't drink any caffeine, which I guess is weird for Type-A personalities.
27. I definitely bite off more than I can chew but I get it all done.
28. It is stressful!
Are you Type A? Do you have these problems?
