Flexibility in Time & Space

I have many authors (writers of books) I like. One of them, Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., wrote a book called Slaughterhouse Five. The main character becomes "unstuck in time." He doesn't travel in time, but moves back and forth to different times in his life. Not in his mind, like many of us tend to do, but actually in the flesh (physically), so to speak. He does not have control over when these "shifts" (movements) in time happen, nor does he have control of where, or rather when, he ends up each time. Sometimes he ends up in the past, and sometimes he ends up in his own future. The only thing that is certain, is that "whenever" he ends up, he will only stay until he becomes "unstuck" again.
It would be a very unusual way to experience life. I wonder if any of us, if put in that situation, would be able to remain sane.
I have enough trouble trying to remain flexible in all my day to day, sometimes mundane, and sometimes chaotic, but very linear (straight line) in regards to time, travels and experiences in life. It's not that I would change much about my life. But I would change a little about myself. I would throw in a good bit more of patience, which the lack of might someday get me in serious trouble, particularly when I am driving, but also at other times.
And I would definitely add in some flexibility. As someone once said, it is better to bend in the wind, than to break.
I would also be willing to pay much to have my "worry gene" surgically removed.
For better or worse, however, we must cope with our shortcomings, and make the best of our circumstances.
But all things being equal, it would be nice to be living on Bora Bora.
