I have always been one to plan things. I worked over 50 years serving as a Project Engineer, Program Manager, Emergency Response Manager and Vice President.

I can be spontaneous, given enough time to plan for it. 😉

I plan out my destinations to save gas and plan my day to get the most done.

Vacations to popular and iconic destinations require planning. While making reservations at some of the historic motels on Route 66, I discovered that two of them were booked 18 months out. Walk-ins (non planners) would be turned away.

Since I horseback ride in the Wilderness, it takes planning to do so safely.

If you want to do something that is very popular, you need to book in advance. Otherwise, you risk disappointment.

You might miss something wonderful if you won't do something spur of the moment, that just pops up. Planning is good too, but being rigid to a plan could prevent a happy unplanned event!

I just feel like arising at the same time helps me stay on schedule and feel like I am seizing the day. Also, I can NEVER sleep in when I try anyway.

I have tried to get up later but cannot stay up in the evening. I got up at the same time for many years while working

Approximately, but as retirees we're delightfully flexible most all the time.

If I go to bed later, I will wake up later.

It is said that you should always wake up at the same time. Never has worked for me.
