Traits of the Type-A Personality

According to Wikipedia, the Type-A personality trait can be described as “ ambitious, rigidly   organized , highly   status -conscious, sensitive, truthful, impatient, always try to help others, take on more than they can handle, want other people to get to the point,   proactive , and obsessed with   time management . People with Type A personalities are often high-achieving ‘ workaholics ’ who multi-task, push themselves with deadlines, and hate both delays and ambivalence.” Some of this is true in my case, but not all.

Most Saturdays (if I’m working on a Saturday, all of this will happen on Friday or my husband will do the errands) the alarm goes off at 7 am.   While I’m enjoying my first cup of coffee, I will do my meal planning. First, I gather my supplies.
