Do you prefer routine or changes?

Post Reply New Topic

Personally I am spontaneous and thrive on changes in my routine and changes in location and scenery. What about you?

I'm very routined and get stressed if something unexpected happens. Although sometimes I get an adrenaline rush if something forces me to change routine, like when I got snowed in last year and ended up spending 5 days sledging which was amazing!

I like unpredictability to some extent but thrive better on routine. I dont adjust to change very well, but I do like creativity and doing things differently but only if I am the one steering the ship.
So its really a matter of who is creating the change to how well I adjust.
Something like today, the masterbath is being rebuilt because of a water leak and mold damage...well the floor is ripped up to the subfloor, so I cant take a shower. Well the other bathroom is plugged up, so I had to take a birdie bath in the sink. Well that was difficult because it was out of my routine. I was not a happy camper. Still need to wash my hair, but dreading the change in routine.

However in my art projects, I am always going for the most experimental ideas that I can think of.

Routine, by a considerable margin.
However, I've had trouble maintaining it of late. This causes much in the way of unnecessary distress.

Change bad. Scary. Do not like.

Routines for me. It's not that I prefer them but I naturally have them and any change has a negative reaction in me.

my only "routine" ( except from brushing my teeth which i have learnt to bear the feeling of by forcing myself to do it 3 times a day) is : stay at home. i hate going out so yeah....
but the country doesn't matter so much to me, you can just move me to a different country and i don't notice the change much.
As long as i have a house with a door and own the key to that door, i'm fine.

Purely for fun, change.

If it's something potentially serious if I screw it up, routine.

I prefer routine over changes. I'm a creature of habit, and my everyday behaviours, and routines are the same as they were since last September. This is a good thing. I've lost an icon and I'm still the same, unintentionally.

I'm not spontaneous and I prefer my routine. I like to program myself and do what I planned.
When a part of my routine is forced, f.e. school when I have to wake up early, I really want changes.

I like spontaneity and change when I'm the one initiating it. I get very stressed when it's imposed upon me.

Routine, always. Changes will be made only if absolutely necessary, and will be stressful even then.

I much prefer routine, which is a problem as the manager at work is completely incapable of working to a routine.

I like change, but only if I know it's going to happen. routine gets too boring for me.
