I look at it in two ways
1) A pattern, how people behave, act & respond to a person. And how they repeat the same to another who's in a similar situation as the first one. It may not be a Design Pattern but it's probably psychological/behavioral pattern.

2) The other way is about the efficiency. I think of "How well we can live, if we can plan our day like we plan our work?". It would greatly improve how we can lead our lives.
Don't mistake me that we should plan everything in our life which is not even closely possible. I mean to say that we can plan our life at least to the parts which we know of.
Ex: when we want to cook a special dish, list out all ingredients, keep the proportions in your mind, the steps & then rock your meal. This is what my mom does day in and day out. She plans it wonderfully. She doesn't think it as if she's planning it though.
If we can be so thoughtful about all the parts of our life which we can control, then life would be amazing.

Interesting point. Human beings are natural pattern seekers and I relate to that.

It's funny how you used a cooking example on your point about efficiency. I love cooking and I'm crazy about optimizing it.
