    The more things they can do at the same time, the happier and the more fulfilled they feel. They organize their time (and lives) in an entirely different way from Americans, Germans and the Swiss. Multi-active peoples are not very interested in schedules or punctuality.

I'm half of this, the first half. The second half is dependent on the situation but I always value punctuality. I don't like sitting around waiting for people. Schedules though, if there's one thing I've been learning is that schedules are more of a guideline than anything else and I don't take them too seriously. I tend to work from event to event, and bounce between projects once I'm satisfied with where I stand with them. Guess I'm more of a European multi-active than anything else based on this article.
