The Type B Personality at Home with Queen of To Do
Part 2 of the Personality at Home Series
So You Might Be a Type B...
You go with the flow.
You don't rush to the finish line; you're busy enjoying the ride.
This is part two of our Personality at Home series, where we explore how different personalities shape routines, environments, and sanity levels. You can find type A here.
What Is a Type B Personality?
While Type A thrives on structure, Type B thrives on space.
Both mental & creative space.
You don't see the point in turning life into a race.
Experiences > efficiency
Type B personalities are often:
Creative & open-minded
Patient & flexible
Calm under pressure (or better at avoiding it)
Less prone to urgency
Able to adapt without spiraling
You Might Be Type B If...
Your short to-do list is in your head
You take detours and the long way home
You have a "We'll figure it out" approach to life
Type B At Home
Home is a mood.
Comfort means more than perfection. Your home is lived-in and tells a story - often paired with a mound of laundry still in the spare living room chair.
Relaxation before anything.
You know how to rest and can watch a movie without folding laundry at the same time. Lounging is one of your favorite things.
Creativity over chores.
You probably find yourself repainting a room on a random Thursday just because. Or rearranging the living room. Again. Routines do exist, but they're flexible and far between.
Where Type B Becomes Unsustainable
Everyone has their pitfalls at home. Type B's look a little something like:
Procrastination is NOT your friend & often snowballs into bigger issues
The organizing bug that told you to tear your kitchen apart at 7 pm on a Tuesday
Creativity can override practicality
Bills and deadlines can sneak up on you
Support for Type B Tendencies at Home
Gentle Deadlines
Set timelines, not timers. “Finish by Friday” instead of “finish in 45 minutes.”
Steady Habits
Pick one or two daily rituals: skin care, a walk after lunch, stretching in the morning.
Simplify Systems
No complicated planners. Use sticky notes, a whiteboard, voice memos.
Fun + Function
Pair chores with something you enjoy: your favorite podcast, Spotify playlist, an audiobook.
TL;DR - The Type B Home
Comfort > perfection, always
Creativity thrives in breathing room
Deadlines are (sometimes too) flexible
You don't need to be more rigid - you
→ Up next: Type C.
A bit meticulous, measured...and planning the next five steps.
