Routine simple, planned- no surprises or upsets in the scheduling.

A chaotic way of living much like how a teenager would live without knowing what would happen will cause sporadic unplanned switching, chaos, triggers left and right.

Jailtime, financial upheaval, random triggers- all unplanned...random, sporadic, out of control...

So we plan on having a regulated life to minimize triggers versus a chaotic life causing unplanned switching.

Maturity level and the desire for stability over one’s crazy life as past lived....it takes planning. An unplanned life leads to craziness.

We are going to have switches guaranteed for the many that we have...best have a schedule then unplanned surprises. We would thrive in an institution, but prefer to live in our own institutionalized reality governed by elected rules and regulations to keep the body safe.

It’s all about control.

This is the gist of the sentiment.
I see now so its not "planned switching" or "unplanned switching" that you are doing its you planning your daily schedules just like any one else would do... making their schedules to get things done in the least troublesome way. like when I schedule work, childrens activities and all that I choose the order and schedule that is least troublesome and hectic on all of us...

I thought maybe you were doing something a friend of mine did of purposely exposing yourself to problems and triggers causing yourself to switch, which is a very dangerous thing to do because theres no promise that the right alter would take control at the right time. and end up getting you diagnosed with something other than DID, Dissociative disorders since you would be planning when to do it. had me worried for you for a moment.
