When mom got home she said do this/that. I was like ONE THING AT A TIME! Does this sound similar to any of you? Mind you I just hadn't done house chores all day so it was partially my fault but I hate when she goes into a rant Do this/that did you do X or Y today what have you done today?! etc. Dad been more understanding of me lately I got up at 11:30AM today and then he got hoe a couple minutes later. He said you just got up didn't you? Me: No comment (since I know if I said yes he'd be mad and give me a stupid lecture) LOL!

Yeah pretty much. I usually say "one person at a time" (meaning one person speak at a time) when my mum is saying too much that my brain just can't process all at once.

I go at my own pace. I don't see any need for me to hurry.

Me too.

It's lead to a lot of problems in jobs, though, because apparently most people can answer the phone, take care of an angry customer, wipe the counter, re-stock the cups, and make two ice-cream sundaes all in less that 30 seconds.

I've known people who are always in a rush, pinging all over the place to get things done. They vibrate like chihuahuas, and make me nervous.

Sure I can relate.

Gotta love your own pace :P

Example camping: Most people tend to want to put their tents up straight away when they arrive usually people arrive in the heat of the afternoon 1pm -4pm.
Well since we had been to this campground before.
After the long drive up 5 hours we went straight to the beach and had a drink :)

Leaving our car in our campspot. when the weather got cooler we put up our tent.
Oh what a good way to do it :)

Rather than stressed and panicking.. /rushing.

A lot of people want things done straight away which has its merits but planning is the key :P
or quick analysis.

Yup, all the time. My mum will tell me to do something like go upstairs and put something in my room, then go into the living room and tidy up. I'll just go "make up your mind!"
