TOO well rounded

I've always heard that it's a good thing to be well rounded. Intellectually that is. (I'm well rounded every where else too, i.e. hips, thighs... But that's not the point today.) I've taken lots of different personality tests and, interestingly enough, they all show that I am quite balanced in the different areas. I'm not a beaver... i'm a Beaver/Lion/Golden Retriever/Otter. Figure out which one I am at any given point in the day and you'll know exactly who I am... at that moment.

SO, why I thought this most recent quiz would be informative, I don't know.

I bought a new book called " Organizing For Your Brain Type" by Lanna Nakone, M.A. It came highly recommended by some of my fellow writers and I was really excited about getting my writing schedule worked out. The books premise is that each of the four brain types process and organize information differently and if you know which you are, you can set up your organizational style to match, making it easier to STAY organized.

I took the quiz over lunch and discovered that I test out nearly equal in three of the four types. NOW what am I supposed to do. I'm a Maintainer/Innovater/Prioritizer. That sounds great doesn't it? But they all three organize differently. Guess this book will end up in my pass along pile. Maybe I'm already as organized as I'm gonna get.
