I am mostly Apollonian, and for that reason try really hard to be Dionysian in order to get stuff done. I love the outdoors, being silly, wild. Standing in the rain yesterday was wonderful. I don’t like to do what I’m supposed to do, what I know must get done, and getting things done on time. Staying on top of and on time with school work is a daily chore for me, as my last minute blog posts show!! My apartment doesn’t stay clean for too long, I try, but I feel like I am cleaning every single day. If I happen to skip a day, it’s that much worse! Structure is definitely not my friend; I find it hard to keep with things if I try to plan things out ahead of time. I love being surrounded by people, and building off their energies and ideas.
However, the very fact that I cannot get a hold of my responsibilities drives me crazy! I try to study, but then get so easily distracted, feel the need to clean my workspace, which leads to further distraction.. but getting back on track, I have to keep things under control in order to not be a complete waste of space. I have to keep multiple to-do lists, use my phone calendar as well as a personal calendar; reminding myself to clean my room when I can, try to consolidate my messes, and remember to put makeup on or simply brush my teeth.

Michelle! I laughed when you talk about writing things down because my life is covered in to-do lists too and I would die without my planner. However, I hope I'm not wrong, but I think you may have confused the two sides, Apollonian is the more controlling side :D
I do the same thing: tons of lists and notes. And thank goodness for Google Calendars!
However, you do mean the opposite. Dionysian by nature, Appollonian by force.
