What are the opposite words for methodical?
Methodical is an adjective that describes an individual who is systematic, orderly, and follows a specific method or plan to achieve their goals. Its antonyms are words that represent the opposite meaning. Disorganized, chaotic, haphazard, and careless are some examples of antonyms for the word methodical. Disorganized refers to a lack of order or structure, while chaotic describes something that's completely haphazard with no pattern or plan.
