These are the Type A habits, routines and organizational systems I use to make my life easier across my home, schedule, phone, finances, self-maintenance and mental load. Being Type A often gets confused with being rigid or controlling, but for me, it means thinking through recurring parts of my life in advance so I don’t have to make the same decisions every day.
