Title: Do you prefer to a more structured or relaxed life
Post by: Amandistan on May 22, 2015, 02:52:54 PM
I think this is a personality thing but which do you prefer and why?

for me I like structure and plans. It feel safer and you know what to expect. I like organization and plans.
I am living with hippies who lack organization at the moment and it just feels like a massive clusterfuck.

It sounds to me like you have been living the last few months well outside your comfort zone. Very brave indeed!

I tend to be a creature of routine but I chafe within that routine; I'd like to live as I pleased, but then I'm fundamentally lazy and need routine to get on with things. When I'm on holiday I like to relax. But I have kids; they seem to need routine, especially my younger one, who has ASD, even on holiday.

I'd love a relaxed life, but my need to make money to keep a roof over my head and food in my belly demands structure...  :-\

Both. I could not relax until the structure is in order.

Well theres my enigma. I am very ordered generally. But equally I crave the relaxation I get and kick against any challenge to that. I think I pigeon hole my life. Which itself is orderly. Oh I dunno.....what was the question?? ;)

Unless your incredibly lucky life has to have a large amount of structure to it , we all live by the clock wether it cooking something or catching a train/ bus or many other things The natural order of sunlight and dark always rules. We all live to relax for most of it takes a lot of organization to get there

Have to admit I'm more to a structured, organized way of life. I'm constantly looking for things I could or have to do - whether at home, or outside in the yard. Making firewood, brushcutting, cleaning the yard, shredding branches, sawing boards, digging the ground or something. It's the same when having a summer holiday and we go, move, to the summer cottage for 2-4 weeks. I'll get bored if I'm not able to DO something there. I often take my things with me so I can build something there, nest boxes for birds, carve some wood, plan some sketch-up or I can make some art there if I have my tools with me.

At the evening I always want to have couple of hours just to relax. And when travelling, flying somewhere to gigs or something I don't have this way of "organizing" with time. :)
