[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People who talk about how "crazy busy" they are bug me a lot.  In fact, the phrase "crazy busy" bugs me.  I am the type of person who has never been into being busy.  I like to keep things simple, and feel that being rested and relaxed is more important to me than being productive.  I embrace my lazy side and despise multitasking.  I am type B and laid back, I go with the flow and embrace sponteneity.  Multitasking to me feels crazy busy and so I never do it.  I do one thing at a time, until I complete the task.  I love to have days with lots of free time, that's what makes me feel the happiest.  Busy days make me feel ornery.  I love to leisurely read a book, or just sit on the sofa for an hour or two and just look out the window.  I love quiet and orderliness.  If I feel tired, I take a nap, and never feel like I should be doing something productive instead.

I am never running late, always on time or a bit early.  My schedule is usually wide open--I do love to get together with friends, and try to schedule as many social outings as possible, but social events or other fun things always take priority over any kind of chores/errands.  I'm the type of person who will always put off a chore/errand to do something fun.

I am different at work than I am at home, though I am in a career that suits my preference for a slow pace versus a chaotic, busy pace at work.  I specifically looked for a field that would suit my preference to be as un-busy as possible.

DH is very similar to me in that he's also Type B, and also puts a lot of priority on being rested and relaxed.  But he's a lot more disciplined than I am, he can make himself do things that he doesn't want to do rather than give in to his lazy side and choose to have fun over doing the chore/errand.
