If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
Notes for future OT posters:
1. Please add the 'open_thread' tag.
2. Check if there is an active Open Thread before posting a new one. (Immediately before; refresh the list-of-threads page before posting.)
3. Open Threads should be posted in Discussion, and not Main.
4. Open Threads should start on Monday, and end on Sunday.
I have an impression that conscientiousness feels like an outside force. Instead of "I choose to tidy up/proofread my writing/tip the server", it's more like "the situation requires that I do the right thing".
Does this match other people's experience? Does conscientiousness feel more like an outside force than other behaviors?
To me these are much the same thing. I am one with the situation. When I clearly see what is necessary, the action follows.
At least, that's the ideal, which I don't claim to always achieve.
