Your routine is predictable. Your calendar is full of repetitive activities, and you follow your plan without thinking. There’s no room for improvisation or last-minute changes.
-
You are pleasing others. You let other people’s expectations define your choices. You are not paying attention to what you need.

You are always on the go. You never pause to reflect on how you are feeling or what you are doing. You are busy, distracted, or both.
-
You are MULTITASKING.
