easy going

Calm and unhurried

Easygoing describes a relaxed, tolerant temperament—someone not easily upset or bothered by problems.

An easygoing boss doesn't micromanage; an easygoing attitude lets small frustrations slide.

The word suggests flexibility and low stress: He's pretty easygoing about what we eat for dinner.

Sometimes implies a lack of urgency that others might find frustrating.
