Do I prefer to work in a structured environment with rules and expectations or in a setting that has more organized chaos?

I’d definitely have to respond with a structured environment being best for me. I avoid chaos because I think that I’d lose sight of myself. Insight is something that people with schizophrenia supposedly lack. However, like many others, I strive to remain insightful and therefore need to keep on my toes. To do this, I need to box myself up with rules and expectations that assist in paving the way to a mindful mindset. And I can only accomplish that in a structured environment with little chaos.
