Stage managing the world for sure!
My sister in law got married back in October. She is the most easy going and unorganized person ever. She didn't have a bridal party, or wedding coordinator or anything. And didn't do the research to do it herself. She ask me to do her make up, because I had done it for my own wedding and make up classes and such. I just told her we needed a time for me to do a make up run so she could see it.
The time we were supposed to do a make up run, I call her and she is a mess. Her dress has fallen off the hanger and was wrinkled in the dress bag, and she didn't know how to use the steamer, and she was so stressed...etc.
I go to her room, bring her a cup of tea to relax, get my husband to take her future husband out of the room for a while. put the steamer together, steam all of his tux pieces, and take the dress up to my room later that night. I take the dress because I found a few stitches had ripped out when the weight of the dress fell. I didn't want her to see.
So, I spent the next several hours steaming her dress, getting the hotel to bring me a sewing kit, repair her dress, do make up for myself, my mother in law, and her. Then, no one knows how to tie the corset in the dress. Except me because it's one of those stupid things you learn in college that you think you will never use.
We get to the wedding location, she has no idea where the flowers are. I track them down, pin flowers on and give her the bouquet. Then a few of her friends ask "who is your mom down the aisle?" This starts another bridal panic. So, I track down all the family members that are in the wedding, give them "blocking" for who is walking down the aisle and to where. And then proceed to "call" the wedding party entrances with the music and everything from the back of the audience.
Needless to say, I stage managed and problem solved her wedding. And my in-laws who were iffy in the beginning found my career choice to have saved her wedding because no one else would have known what to do.
Other stage managing the world in life:
My dog/cat/fish all have a schedule to eat and go to the bathroom on.
Our wedding program was in the form of a playbill (starring: us, producers: parents, artistc: musicians, readers, priest, co-starring: bridal party) right up our alley anyway.
I make check lists for everything. bills, groceries, laundry, how to clean certain rooms like which part should get done first
I get antsy when the bus/train schedule is off
