How I Became Productive and Output Easily as an INTP

[@youssefehab2716]

One thing I like about myself Is how I procrastinate by watching videos on how to stop procrastination

[@TheINTPProblem]

Strong quality 💪🏽😎💜

WE ARE LEARNING

[@reizer05]

I am the person who always says "maybe later" "maybe tomorrow" but then I realized that if I don't make my move no objective will be Finished. I play games in between to get my boredom away.

[@TheINTPProblem]

Bored is simply a mental response to needing new stimulation. Getting started on a project is a perfect way to do that. I haven't been bored in over a decade. There's a lot of life out there.

[@Educated_Guesser]

I was planning to build a resort in the Philippines (for something to do in my early retirement more than for income). I agonized over site plan, architecture, room layout, roof angles, and every detail for years. Even after I understood every detail of the construction I had trouble getting anything actually built. Without my wife to "manage" me into action (always in a round about way) it would never have been built. To me it was painful to see each building go up because it limited the possibilities. It still bothers me a little, years later. Managing a business on a day-to-day basis interests me for about 30 minutes a day. The rest is somebody else's responsibility.

[@TheINTPProblem]

I feel that. I know that at some point in my journey I'm going to need some help because I know my eyes will be focused on the next thing.

Same-ish (but in Arizona)

[@stadvardom]

Very timely. I was struggling with this very issue this morning!

[@TheINTPProblem]

It's been a month, so I hope you've worked it out!

[@ThatFunnyPlace]

The entire first 30 seconds alone... was nothing but facts....how do u know me so well!?!?

[@TheINTPProblem]

I siphon minds on the daily! ha!

[@DarrenRobinson777]

Maaaan, I have been struggling with this for quite a while now. I get squirreled too often lately.

[@TheINTPProblem]

I feel that. I've been embracing needing more breaks lately and getting some entertainment in or switching gears for a bit. Life can't be all work all the time.

[@Koolej98]

As an INTP-a I couldn't focus on this video. But accountability I did get.

[@TheINTPProblem]

I'll consider that a win 😂

[@rawbinmo]

Some things you said is like describing my soul!

[@TheINTPProblem]

I hope it helps!

[@moonaaxo]

This’s very true. I do the exact thing and it seems that it’s the only thing that works.

[@TheINTPProblem]

Glad it works! 😎 🤘🏼 💜

[@antoinebguitar2869]

I reconize myself so much in what you say, I always tell myself I should do more guitar arrangements, then I figure out the main stuff, like I have pretty good idea of where I want it to go, then comes the boring part, actually writing down what's in my head in a music sheet.. If I have ever manage to get past that step, then I have to actually build the muscle memory of what I've written down, again boring, then I have to play and record, I get a bit of creativity on the recording part, camera angles and the actual video/sound making. Overall the process is boring lol. Therefor, I have 28276162 half done songs in my head, that I improvise over most of time, useless though because I cant bother to write em down and actually play them perflectly lol.

[@rb.x]

You’re still getting better at making songs after starting so many :-)

[@SmarkySmarkz]

I think one of my biggest problems in getting things done is i just seem to be really slow at doing anything :( I suppose deadlines could help, but then life becomes just a case of trying to hit (and often failing) to hit deadlines. Particularly if they are self imposed ones.

[@TheINTPProblem]

That external accountability is so important. Especially with someone we can't easily dismiss or someone we don't want to disappoint. Moving is a matter of improving your skills and process over time. Things will always move slow at first but finding the right tools will smooth things along. Don't reinvent the wheel if you don't have to 😎🤘💜 We cover this in our workshop. I hope you'll join us 💜

[@SmarkySmarkz]

DOPEamine I get it thanks, it’s just really hard sometimes to find that and even then it seems a bit artificial, sometimes it’s great cause the project has that build in automatically but other times when it’s more personal, it’s harder. Also while deadlines do work, they don’t feel nice for us INTP’s, so having to many of them can make us miserable, it’s a way for us to force ourselves into acting out our plans, but it’s not something that makes us happy in the long run. I feel like we are very flawed when it comes to this, it’s for sure a huge downside of being an INTP.

[@TheINTPProblem]

It's a challenge but like you said, too many commitments is part of the challenge. Manage those commitments. Big goals and project require deadlines, not tasks. Tasks are more about giving yourself the time and space to get it done at your pace without the self-judgment of not moving fast enough. I know it's hard but it's not as Hopeless as it seems 💜

[@rb.x]

I think it’s the darting around with techniques and possibilities that slows things down. Doing a single thing directly, you’re probably pretty fast. Having other people around causes us to hone our directness.

[@letsgocnote85]

Sorry about the birds. There's a nest right in the window. Didn't realize it was so loud 😂

[@TheINTPProblem]

Birbs.

[@SantanaBanana47]

I like to make a very rough draft or layout with notes.

[@TheINTPProblem]

Awesome!

Way too much experience haha

[@ryanchurchill5081]

I am working on productivity currently in my life now and I have come up with a thought that I ground myself to foucus as to many things going on distracts me too much

[@TheINTPProblem]

It can definitely be tough to focus. Make sure you secure the parameter and give yourself time to think. I like having a fan on, music or some other low hum to keep me focused. And if you have multiple projects don't be afraid to jump around.

[@ryanchurchill5081]

@@TheINTPProblem I have felt meditation helps as well. It is just a matter of working it in to your habits or crystals as you might say

[@hhz2620]

that bird is really annoying (pay more attention next time). nice topic tho

[@TheINTPProblem]

Unfortunately speaking to and controlling birds is not my super power; however, helping fellow INTPs is 😉, so I hope you were still able to watch and benefit from the video despite the distractions.

[@dashphonemail]

I like the birds. If you're INTP, you're an intuitor, not a sensor, and it shouldn't be too hard to filter out extraneous sound to focus on someone making a rational argument!

[@ZK_33]

Sounds more like ADHD than INTP here...

[@TheINTPProblem]

I do have inattentive ADHD so some tools I've used for that purpose have cross-pollinated with the advice I give here.

[@ZK_33]

Makes sense.
