It feels very ... rigid.
In contrast to this, my mornings are a total chaos: kids. They obey rules if they arr funny. So I have to be funny, which means I just can't be that rigid.
So we just have fun every morning, which makes my work time also pleasant and light. An of course, very casual.
EDIT: I did not said that the person is autistic. Just the way it feels. There is a fine distinction. Of course there is nothing wrong with a structured life and such a person is perfectly healthy. Just to be fair, changed the word.
- Godel_unicode 9y agoThat's a pretty offensive description. People can like structure without having a severe developmental disorder.
- ccozan 9y agoSorry, didn't wanted to sound like that. Just changed the work accordingly. There was no intention of offending anyone, so bear with me.

- publicfig 9y agoAutistic is not an adjective to describe routine or odd quirks, but an actual condition.
- ccozan 9y agoThanks for pointing me this out, I have a circle of people who regularly use this adjective to describe this kind of strange, never changing, routine type of activity.
- wonderbread23 9y agoWhat about sperg, or spergy?
- gdubs 9y agoBased on your comments and edit, it sounds like you genuinely weren't trying to be offensive. What I'd say is that we're all driven by habit more than we realize. It sounds like the parent poster has cultivated a habit that's healthy and productive for them. They actually enjoy it and it brings a positive structure to their life. Someone who dresses down every day is also guided by a habit. It may be deliberate, or it may not be. I'm not being judgemental - I happen to mostly wear t shirts and jeans these days, though ones I really enjoy. Finding a habit that makes your life better can be freeing. It automates something you have to do every day anyway, and the alternative of making a choice every day to do something unique could actually be a negative - it burns up valuable mental resources that culminate in decision making fatigue, which can really mess with your willpower by the end of the day. In a sense we all rigidly follow habits, or a script. But mindfully shaping them can be a powerful tool.
