this killed me. As an INFJ, it's so accurate. I can spend an ENTIRE DAY just sitting, thinking and listening to music. I'm doing ABSOLUTELY nothing, but hypothesizing possible future events or ideas 😂

[@rocketassistedgoat1079]

Lol. That could be me, an INTJ. It's true that compared to our ENTJ brethren, with all the same functions: INTJs are the runt of the litter. I'm convinced, that's because we have the unproductive Ni Fi loop, whereas ENTJs have the insanely productive Te Se loop. In other words, instead of daydreaming about feelings (or just daydreaming), they're working even when they're playing. Makes me think they're not real INtuitives, but are imposters. Secretly, ESTJs in disguise...

[@aprilhelm518]

@@rocketassistedgoat1079 Well, ISTJ has the Si-Fi loop, which is, imo, also unproductive... I get a feeling of being stuck. Like introverted functions are functions you're supposed to go into temporarily and then come back out, but sometimes an introvert gets stuck. Don't know about extraverts, I guess. Si-Fi to me feels like an unfortunately unproductive loop.

[@rocketassistedgoat1079]

@@aprilhelm518 Fi-Si is the same loop that INFPs have, only with the hero and child reversed. From experience with them though, their loop also includes iNtuition-the classic daydream state, so they can be as unproductive as me. I'm not sure how that fits into everything. I suspect extroverts in general are more productive, because they have an extroverted loop. Any loop can be unhealthy, but an extroverted loop, like Te Se: I think that's what being a workaholic is. But then (shrugs), what do I know. I just know as an INTJ, there is NO chance I'm one of the most productive types, lol. Weird thing is, when I was young: I used to spend 12hrs a day, pretty much every day on my hobbies during the school holidays. But then I burnt myself out (something I'm terrified of these days): and didn't touch any of them for 15yrs. So now, I pace myself, even with the things I enjoy. But then, I am sleep first (conserving energy). Sleep, blast, consume play-in that order.

Your INFJ advice is spot-on. I’m an INFJ and when I was younger sometimes I would spend so much time thinking about or planning doing something that it somehow “felt” like I actually did it. Many years ago I had this glaringly obvious moment of clarity that, for something to get done I actually have to DO THE THING. Sounds silly but now I just remind myself I have to DO THE THING and that mostly works, I’m actually fairly productive!

I'm an INTJ. I rarely talk about stuff I'm interested in - if I start, I may become unstoppable. And then I feel an extreme cringe at what I've done for a year or more. So I talk to real people in my mind. I remember a couple of times when I woke up early and was lying with my eyes closed for 2 or 3 hours. After a while, it felt like a real thing, though I knew it wasn't real. That way, I created fake but enjoyable memories without feeling cringing. Lol.

ENFP here. I know you're feeling down because we were dead last but....My dudes...There is hope for us yet. I have been more productive and produced more art in the past year than I have in my entire life. I've figured out how to ride the wave of inspiration by trying to take on a mentality that every part of the process of getting stuff done is inspiring. Also, it is so satisfying to see a finished project! So keep going!

[@chrisscrossz7307]

I think as an ENFP you really have to find the thing you want to do and love, because for the rest it's just very very useless for us, cause I'm pretty sure we do indeed already have a final goal settled and we only do the work for school and stuff to actually get to do the thing we love. -ENFP (too)

[@Arriscas]

Oh, I’m not down, and as an ENFP who starts a lot of projects and almost never finishes any (with some procrastination in the middle) I fully expect us to be last, but it’s nice to not sugarcoat the reality for some of us because a lot of ENFPs sometimes don’t realize what they need to change in their life in order to better themselves. For me, I think it helps get myself organized, both around my workplace area and with the help of some agenda where I can list things I need to do and prioritize them. Our inspiration can be very unpredictable but I think it’s important to set our goals and focus on what we want or need to achieve.

[@KaraDK]

I think when under pressure as an INFJ I become very productive. Yes I procrastinate and plan and daydream and make lists blah blah blah but once I am motivated there is no stopping me from getting things done.

[@ACrazyCrazyGirl]

Absolutely, and that's one of the reasons actually that I disagree with Frank about the number 15 spot. I think if the plan or even just the vision is emotionally dragging you enough, INFJs can be super productive with their ways of solutions. +Giving myself deadlines helped me learn to accept even if not perfect 😊

[@km_sq]

True on that!

[@autisticdancer]

INFJ here and pressure actually makes me less productive. But when I'm not stressed I am actually very productive. I love being on my feet getting stuff I am passionate about doing. But once I am under pressure to do something it makes me stressed.

[@Multitudes_]

For once, I agree with 100% of Frank's INFP assessment. We gotta suck it up and get stuff done, even if we don't feel like it. Having some kind of reward system for ourselves can be helpful. Sometimes even the satisfaction of crossing tasks off lists, or reflecting on our day and finding we have been productive, can be motivating. Think ahead a little and consider how you'll feel at the end of the day, week, or month. And yeah, sometimes you have to put in some tedious work, or what may feel like 'meaningless' work, to pave your way toward the life you really want. This also includes taking care of yourself physically so you can feel and function your best. Building good habits is always helpful. Tedious things can feel easier and come more naturally once they become habitual. Once you do get your career and your life aligned with who you really are, it does all tend to get easier.

[@jdope893]

(long message ahead) an infp here, and I have a ton of tasks to accomplish, but I have no motivation to do them. I write fan fiction and haven't updated in almost two months. On December 15, I promised to upload many chapters, but I haven't completed a single one. I have schedules in my head but it’s too complex and whenever it's time for me to do something, I always tell myself, "I swear I'll do it tomorrow," but I never do it until the last minute. I always believe I am capable of completing any task and claim "I believe that would work, I promise I’ll do it tomorrow the whole day," but I never do. I feel less productive and feel like I’m not doing anything good in my life. Now I feel bad that a lot of people are disappointed at me. I feel like I’ve upset them :,((. It’s also bothering me a lot and feel anxious every time I think about it😭 And whenever I feel motivated and finally start doing these tasks, there’s always this feeling that I feel like it’s not going to be good enough😭🥊

[@morrello2801]

As an infp I usually reward myself with daydreaming for about 30 mins after getting something done that is the highest entertainment for me 😊

[@SugarandSarcasm]

The hard part is when you THINK you have it sorted, but then there’s nothing in your field, or something becomes obsolete (etc). It feels like I have to do a complete mulligan and figure out an alternative. And being the age I am, it feels either too late or almost too late which kind of stalls me. Also seems like I need to constantly figure out who I am. That question has always been difficult to answer.

I am constantly appalled that I can't remember where I bought things, or even what the brand was. I've started taking notes when I cook because later I have no idea how I did anything. Young INTJs, listen to Frank. The man knows what he's taking about.

[@friend757]

ENFP here and boring every day tasks are the bane of my existence. I used to pay a housekeeper because I hated cleaning that much! Lol Now I set a timer for 30 minutes and blitz through tasks that I absolutely do not enjoy. I then reward myself with fun activities, repeat this twice daily. I did the lawn myself (2 hours) all spring, but when the heat index was 101 every day for weeks I rehired my lawn guy. I spend my productivity on more important things than cleaning house or mowing lawns. The extra focus spent earning more money to pay others makes sense to me, but women really get guilted over hiring a housekeeper even if they can well afford it.

[@ktwhimsy6946]

I love the idea of your 30 min timer/reward system! May have to implement that myself! I’m also ENFP, and I agree regarding wanting to spend my most productive time on creative projects & things of more importance than menial chores (I own a little jewelry business & work from home, so creative projects = my income/livelihood) … once my business became successful it was super difficult for me to keep up with the tedious paperwork side, so I hired a tax guy/book keeper and it changed my life!! Absolutely worth the extra $$. Once I can afford it, I’m totally willing to get a housekeeper - in fact, it’s one of my goals… I have 2 teenage boys as well, so they can do the yard stuff & help around the house, but they are ENTP & INFJ - so, sometimes, none of us really make it through our “chores list” 😅 It’s ridiculous for women to be shamed for needing help with housework, but it certainly does happen… I have family members who think I’m living the easy life, simply because I love what I do and get to work from home… when really, running my own business & raising 2 teenagers as a single mom is a very difficult, time consuming undertaking - I’m not going to feel ashamed for needing all the help I can get!

I can DEFINITELY say, that as an INFJ (and a hubby who is also an INFJ) we both had points in our life where the other would be the most productive w house work, and the other has to take on the responsibility/weight of the other. I grew up putting everything off and having a hard time focusing. I had to learn to discipline myself, cuz my parents never made me follow thru w anything. It's just one of those things that you have to realize is a problem, and then once it's addressed it kinda changes your mindset for the time being. But then we can go back to bad habits if the other doesn't hold us accountable. We can def get stuck sometimes when we have stressors, too. But if you find stuff to help you then it's easier and becomes a long term habit. I like to get music going, or listen to something I want to watch while cleaning so I don't feel like I'm losing that self-enjoyment time.

[@misseva7404]

Also, ISFJ pro tip: a couple years ago, I started keeping a journal where I write down what I want to do on my personal/creative projects at the beginning of the month, and then all month, I track what I got done. I started it in order to be more productive, but eventually I realized that a big part of it is because I feel like I never do anything, so having it written down helps boost my confidence that I am not, in fact, The Worst. I highly recommend this approach! (My ISFP sister, who is super chill and does what she wants, affectionately calls it my "Murder Board of Fun." Because it's mostly me writing down art and craft and writing projects and then giving myself credit for doing them.)

[@autisticdancer]

My ISTP husband doesn’t mind people helping if they’re actually helpful, but here’s why he says he would usually rather work alone: they’ll talk too much and not get anything done, try to “help” but end up needing him to help them help him thereby slowing him down, or they’ll tell him to do it their way and then they just argue the whole time about which way is right. 😆

ok but real talk, the INTJ tip was actually helpful. It took me like 18 years to figure out the exact kind of shoes I like to wear.

[@williambriggs9990]

I would argue that in the right circumstances, ENFPs can be incredibly productive. My father is an ENFP, and watching him previously get stuck in a Ne-Te loop showed me how productive he really can be. I would argue that it's often the quality of his work that can fall due to 4th slot Si, but generally he gets a larger volume done than me (as an ENFJ) if he is working without distractions. Just a couple of thoughts from a Ti inferior :)

[@liserecherches9314]

Agreed. I am an ENFP and at work i am very productive and efficient. I put in place better ways to work well. I often redo work of so called productive people because they just rush into things without really care. But i am exhausted at the end of the week. Need to work on that.

I mean my productivity is fluctuating. I often become very focused when I find a possible solution for a problem and as I am working on it the cogs in my brain begin to move. But when I tried all the options and I'm stuck... well, I will probably drop it until I get an idea while doing something random and unrelated.

[@randomcreations7]

The only way I get productive is if I’m motivated enough to do it, and the only way to motivate me is for me to find said thing interesting. And most times I don’t find the things I’m supposed to do interesting, so that means I have to convince myself that it’s interesting, but I can never delude myself into thinking it’s interesting because I already know it’d be boring, and I always end up turning my attention to something else that actually catches my curiosity. On the plus side, if I *DO* manage to start any task, I usually finish it without any issue. Because my brain is already focused on the task.

[@ashenguard_1437]

[@robotnik2234]

Me an INFP: I’m honestly surprised we’re not last lol. I have a huge dream that I want to get accomplished but I spend so much time in my head with all my feelings and imagining being successful that I do basically nothing towards it while just fantasizing “crossing the finish line.” Everything that doesn’t matter to me is just BS, so I can relate with his words lol. But I suppose we INFP’s just have to go through the lame stuff just to get to our “destination” which will likely never happen the way we dream up, but what do I know? “It’s possible” is always in my head lol.

[@Diaming787]

The mature ENFP is still more productive than immature ESTJ. If ESTJs just keep bossing around and micromanage everyone, what good is it to be productive in the first place? You are essentially "getting things done" for the same analogy reason you eat chips for food to survive. Mature ENFP's can channel their creativity and values with what works (Te).

[@CaveyMoth]

I work with an ENFP. He's an unsung hero. He keeps the department afloat, working alone 4 hours a day, during some of the busiest hours. And he always emerges victoriously. But he's always afraid of getting in trouble. The anxiety holds him back significantly. I fear that it will take a toll on his health... I fear that a lot of coworkers are experiencing similar strain, actually... Dang ISTJ overwatch, with its limited view into the future and lack of empathy overall. They see positions as spots to fill, and nothing more. As long as the work gets done, it's good enough. Just wait until it crumbles down.

[@farrex0]

Cleaning your desk accomplishes nothing, other than wasting time and energy. It is illogical to do so... Now I will clean it to the point that it doesn't produce health problems, but there are diminishing returns. I know where everything is, there is a method to my madness. I rarely if ever have lost anything in my life. I have a limited amount of energy, and if I spend it in something as useless as keeping my things orderly, I won't have enough energy for the things that actually are important. And even if I do so, what is the point? It doesn't affect me in any way if things are orderly or not, because I will spend most of the time in my head, the sensory is mostly irrelevant to me. Again, it is illogical since it accomplishes nothing and wastes times I could spend learning new things. The only way I could be mindful about it, is because it bothers other people. But then again, I will never fully clean, I will just look for the diminishing returns sweet spot.

The INFP advice was actually really good. One of my core values is that if somebody cares about your work enough to pay you to do it then it's important that you're giving it 100% effort and then some to meet those expectations. Due to this i've always been very productive in a work setting but the complete opposite when it comes to everyday life 😅 there's some major goals i've had for years now that i've yet to make much progress in solely because of how much fun the steps to get there DO NOT sound and how much i really would prefer not to have to deal with

As an INTP, you're right and i was very shocked that it was 10th haha, but your analysis is so accurate. I spend my days binge watching/reading up on things that I am interested in, and when I do have a task I save it until the last possible moment.

I realized that I've always been under a lot of stress where I've had to make a lot of quick, important decisions, and get things done. I've always had a packed schedule, where watching youtube (pre-pandemic) was a once-a-week event. In addition, I have an ENFP mother and an ENTP father (also divorced)... meaning that I didn't grow up with a lot of structure. I'm still definitely an ENFP, quirky, imaginative, and "all over the place ," but I've been forced to be able to be more productive than even my SJ peers due to pressure. It's gotten to the point where I can memorize a month of coursework in a few minutes, but can't remember to brush my teeth before I go to bed lol. Any other similar experiences?
