16 Clever Items Only A Type A Person Could Love

When I think of a classic case of 'Type A' personality, I immediately think of Monica Geller from Friends. She always wants things done her way, and she’s super organized (hello, 11 different kinds of towels). The great thing is that there are a ton of clever organizing tools and solutions for work and home out there that a person with a Type A personality would absolutely relish.

Type A people enjoy making lists, being punctual, organizing, and multitasking. They are pretty particular about how they like things being done, which typically translates into just doing it themselves. (There is nothing wrong with that! It embodies the GSD mentality).

While I personally don’t fall into this category, I have a bunch of family members who do. I can say that while they may like control, they are incredibly hardworking and feel deeply satisfied by getting the job done. They love anything that helps them stay organized and on task, like a notebook or day planner. Type A people enjoy things that are methodical and help them get whatever is on that list done. So, if you’re like Monica and everything you own has a specific home and you love to-do lists, here are incredibly clever items that you’ll be obsessed with if you have a Type A personality.
