Yes...when it comes to work, home organization, and finances. But, when I travel, I create a "framework" with room to explore and do spontaneous things.

I have had zero structure for the past four years and it has been garbage. It's so aggravating to want to do something valuable when it gets interrupted.

No.

I don't have to...... Does it help? Heck yes

Yes

My unstructured life involved lots of driving and exploring New Mexico, Louisiana, Texas. I would just get a whim and drive there. I wasn't rich, so I had to find work and make opportunities. Then I got frustrated with limited options from low income, so I got structured and work a mid level corporate job, have a suburban home, attend a UU service regularly. I'm at the point where I wonder how people can hold on to their structured lives so long. The repetitive nature is easy, but my curiosity is very fidgety lately. Structured living is good for accumulating things.

If you mean do I have a routine for my days, then not particularly, outside of getting up on time, getting the kid sorted for school and getting to work (and the reverse in the evening).

If you mean do I prefer to live chaotically or with a basis of security — home, income, stability for my wife and child — then I absolutely need the structure and stability, or I'd feel beside myself with anxiety over meeting my responsibilities.

But if you mean having a plan for life... Hell no. My head and my interests are too scattered to have ever had any idea where I'm steering this particular ship.

Not anymore! The nest is empty and I'm retired. I always hated structure and now I can avoid it. It's great, although I think it rattles some people. I eat what I want when I want -- seldom 3 meals a day. I sleep when I want and when the dog allows it. I binge watch TV shows, sometimes several times in a row. It's blissful.
