Are you a last minute person or do you plan everything?

I plan everything and I get teased about it all the time. I'll admitt I'm borderline OCD about things sometimes. I cant help it though, it drives me crazy when people wait till the very last second to do something. I plan and plan every little detail of everything. I am a serious list writer, which I know can be bad sometimes. I cant function without my lists anymore, its actually very sad. There are lists all over my house, the funny part is, the first thing on every list is to make the list. I am really trying to cut back on my crazy planning, but when i just go with the flow im anzious all the time and always feel like i forgot to do something. Now my sister & my boyfriend on the other hand are nothing like me at all. They wait till the last second to do everything. It drives me crazy! I have to say I dont think there way is any better then mine, they are always forgetting to do stuff or be places they need to be. So my question is are you like me or my sister and whats your outlook on your way?

hmmm... it depends. When it comes to holidays and things I am very last minute. When it comes to routines with my daughter I am spot on not even a second late! and the cleaning rota that is followed to the tee! It just depends on what it is. I like to be spontaneous for hjoildays as I hate being too excited as it affects my sleeping, I currently have 12 weeks left till I give birth and am so excited. As I am having a home birth I have planned everything exactly how want it to go, probably wont happen but I needed to do it to stop being so damn excited. I havent slept properly due to the excitement haha.

I am a bit of both, I try beginning with my homework for example a bit early but I don't make a planning. Do you really have OCD or were you just joking?
