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.
