3Train yourself to think within the confines of rules and only within a defined box.

7 Convince yourself that everything in your life should be orderly and predictable.

8When your schedule is predictable. If your days, weeks, and months all look the same, you should be worried.

9You preach safety first. You are always opting for the safest decision.

10You relentlessly pursue efficiency. Sorry, but the creative solution is not always the most efficient.

11You settle for the first “good” idea. You gravitate towards the path of least resistance.
