Are you the type of person that goes with the flow or you must plan everything out?

[Simslover92]

I used to be a planner but ever since my breakup back in August of last year, I've become a go with the flow type of person. I find it's more freeing and makes you end up doing things that you thought you would never do.

I'm more open to trying new things now which makes life more exciting.

But what are you more of?

Go with the flow type of person

Planner

In between

[OneViewpoint]

I plan. I think things through. But I'm aware that life is complex and I almost never have absolute control except in very limited circumstances. So I'm OK with living in chaos and adjusting as a situation evolves in ways I didn't see coming. I adapt rather than rigidly holding onto a plan that clearly does not work in a fluid environment.

It is my belief that is the only way to approach life. There is no benefit to "woulda", "could've", "shoulda" thinking. The past is the past and out of reach. The future is uncertain but full of possibility. Focus on the NOW that you can control and change as the situation evolves.

You'll save yourself a lot of grief.

[Chazmatazz269]

I can do either, but there are factors that help determine which way i’ll go, generally.
I can ruin a day by trying to plan it too thoroughly, but i’ve ruined them all the same by not planning at all too.
The underlying problem is my own expectations. If someone else does the planning, or none at all, i am very “go with the flow”. I only set expectations when the results fall on myself.

[Beckybooboo]

I'm a little of both. I would totally be the type to plan and organize every aspect of my life but that's how my mother is and I find it irritating! Our family "vacations" were a nightmare because of her, every second of every minute was planned. What would really irritate me was my dad and brothers would eventually go on their own and leave me with her lol by day two, I was already counting the days until we went home.

Let's just say I have to go with the flow as I've learned that whenever I planned something it always got cancelled/ruined... So, I don't make plans anymore. 😅

[Genie23]

Thank you!

As a relationship coach, my gig is helping people, but when it comes to my own life, I've learned to embrace that spicy “go with the flow” vibe. Being a planner had its perks, like ensuring everything ran smoothly, but, yeah, going with the flow is freeing, just like you said! Especially with a 7-year-old, spontaneous adventures are the delicious dish of life. Let's just say, I plan my love advice like a pro, but the rest is an exciting rollercoaster! 😉

[ohsheeT]

It kinda depends on The situation but I'm mostly go with the flow.. or Spontaneous but It depends on the situation and who i'm with

If I'm with a girl.
I go to flow until im bored. Then I need to be spontaneous and change everything LO. L

[LiaRaven]

I plan my things most of the time

[KostasKouvalis]

I like to plan, but stay flexible. Here's an example

Is it worth using up an entire day just to see some ruins and a beach?

[Iron_Man]

If you’re going on a vacation You have to have a goal in mind and plan it out. There’s certain things you wanna do and certain things you wanna see if not, nothing is organized then you’re just gonna end up sleeping in too late and you’ll get nothing accomplished once you do everything you want to do the rest, you can play it by ear, but you have to have a certain goal in mind certain things you wanna do

[Sissy_K]

It's all about going with the flow for me. I will plan for things like vacations and trips, but on the day to day you have to just go with the flow. There's too much that's out of your control so why waste too much time worrying about getting it all to go exactly to plan.

[sawno]

I'm the kinda person where anytime I try to plan something happens. I don't even say talk tomorrow to a loved one. I always jokingly say talk soon.

[rachel776]

prove Elvis wrong, he says you can’t do nothin’ that ain’t written in your calendar

that is me...

[Caroline91]

I’m a very spontaneous person, but I do realize that sometimes there needs to be a bit more structure.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

I’d like to believe I go with the flow but I know I’m too anxious to not have an intense desire for control, so I’m a planner

[conanbdetective]

Depends how important it is. But, more often than not, just tell me the time and place. I'll be there, maybe later than expected. But I'm there.

[SotiCoto]

I hate things that need to be planned, but I hate not having a plan more. So I just sorta procrastinate... then come up with something at the last minute.

[Benjiman19]

I'm in between. If it's for going out on a date, I'm a planner. However, if it's just everyday life, I don't care what I'm doing. I don't plan for it, just go with it.

[red-lipstick-girl]

I just go with the flow because everything I work hard for turns into trash and I can't stand it anymore.

[serious]

I give importance to order and certainty so yes I like to plan things my way.

[NathanDavis]

it depends... I can go both ways, and adjust on the go as well...

[sage2021]

I go with the flow but I do need a little heads up time 🙂

[WhitneySnow]

I’m exactly the same as you. When I went to college I became much more go with the flow.

[lilBigPotato]

It depends a bit on what it is about but generally I like to go with the floor

[Xawyx-2]

I'm somewhere in between, I like to plan things from time to time, but I often go with the flow.

[Jammie2112]

I'm a Sagittarius and we live for spontaneous. So when you don't plan is always a good time

[Simslover92]

I learned that from my ex. He's a Sagittarius.

[exitseven]

At this, stage if my life I am just going with the flow

[Phoenix98]

I'm a bit of both it just depends on what's going on.

[Shiprex]

I will go with others plans but seldom do it myself.

[whereismyjohnny]

Something in between 😂

[Nikki1989]

Both depending on the situation.

[lyrem04]

I need to plan everything out

[StephanieChick111]

I usually have my man make all the plans.

[MannMitAntworten]

Roll with it. Let it unfold.

[CubaPirate]

[Bklynbadboy12]

[strateguy632]
