Welcome to the daily life of someone with a Type A personality. The recipe for a typical day includes: the dire need to strive for perfection while boarding of the "struggle bus" when attempting to “take a chill pill,” or, in other words, “be less of a spaz.” These are all things that anyone who identifies with the Type A personality experiences regularly. It’s hard not to spot these qualities, however, I will attempt to put a clear depiction to this recipe for the ultimate try hard, as a self proclaimed Type A myself. I have to poke a little bit of fun at myself for this sometime, right? So, here it goes. Starting with the most obvious images, I present to you, the telltale signs of a Type A coming your way.
1. This person is walking fast.
Type A’s: They know exactly where they are going at all times, who they are going to see, and when they need to be there. It’s all written down in their planner.
2. Speaking of planners… They have fully detailed ones.
And they keep them close at all times. They are their bibles and forgetting things is their biggest fear.
3. They also have another place to store their schedule.
What? Why? Well, some use sticky notes, their phones, or just their heads, but (surprise!) making sure they don’t miss something they need to do is constantly at the top of their list of priorities so the planner isn’t quite enough.
4. Their outfits are on point.
Things don’t just match by default. Not at the level that these people’s outfits do. They put thought into everything so you better bet that there were meticulous decisions made the night before the perfect outfit’s debut.
5. That brings us to an important point about preparation.
These people spend forever working on even the smallest necessities. Every task at hand is equally as important to them and must be given maximum effort.
6. Therefore, they are very busy.
7. And as if being busy doing necessary tasks isn’t good enough, these people tend to overbook themselves with many different obligations in the first place.
And they have to be prepared for everything because there is no time to stop at home.^^^
8. But that’s okay because they will get it all done…somehow.
9. While internally screaming of stress in the
midst of trying to look put together.
10. And chugging along for as long as it takes for their job to get done.
11. But feeling the feels of finishing a task with more joy than anyone else
Because when they finally hit the bed after a long day of schedule balancing acts, they are on top of the entire world.
