Interesting because I too had this revelation about my husband and myself awhile back. For years we were always late to everything. His mom always gave us the run around about it because she is always EARLY to everything (our pet peeve!) and it frustrated us even more because we don’t like to waste time! We will fill every last moment we have puttering around getting one more thing done. When it dawned on me why we were always late, it made sense. We are perfectionists and overachievers. And can be extremely hard workers. I think sometimes people like us can even be disorganized despite our perfectionist leanings (not mentioning any names here, eh hem) because we are trying to do WAY more than is really humanly possible, so lots of stuff doesn’t get done that should.

Needless to say, I am reevaluating my life and trying to figure out how to slow a moving train. I am really excited about it, but it against my nature and lifelong habit so I will be making extraordinary effort in the coming months to simplify my life!
