INTJs when they have a day off ;

ah, finally some relaxation. now to properly put all of the hobbies I’d like to indulge in on a strict schedule so I can have the most productive day off humanly possible.

Fun fact: INTJs are the most introverted of all the MBTI types. They need vast swaths of alone time to refill their social battery and gain energy.

ENFJ: If a timer suddenly appeared in front of you and started counting down from one hour, what would you assume it’s counting down to?

INTJ: Zero.

Unpopular fact: INTJs can suck at hard work.

Ladies and gentlemen, INTJs procrastinate.

And it's all thanks to the visionary, mystical Ni.

Ni is extremely picky and sceptical when it comes to every-day work. It wants to do only what it thinks is the most meaningful and important. It doesn't trust Si at all, while Si in order to achieve a goal would patiently follow these mundane steps that Ni has dismissed, because it knows that big things consist of small pieces, which alone may appear pointless, but combined lead to an aim that Ni (especially immature) wanted to go to using a shortcut.

I think that when Si users want to write a book, they sit down and write words. But Ni-doms have a much more holistic approach to that and they would want the book either to be written (obviously in a perfect, as Ni has envisioned, way), or to stay in their heads forever. The moment when they realise that they need to compromise between their vision and undeveloped abilities is the point where procrastination starts. INTJs hate practice. They want the results.

I believe that what can help INTJs with such problems is taking up activities that are built of multiple small tasks, so that they get used to follow structures. In my case it's learning to play the piano - I have an Ni vision of conveying my emotions and showing what's inside me by playing music, but in order to achieve that I need for example to practice some etudes, what not only is quite boring itself (they often aren't pieces of art), but also leads to something that isn't necessarily my goal, because I don't want to play etudes fluently, but to apply the acquired technical abilities in other pieces that I like (and, by the way, haven't even learned yet). But thanks to this I learn to trust methodical processes that eventually give the results I've aimed for, and also greater satisfacion of completing a bunch of challenging activities instead of achieving just one, single goal (what wouldn't happen anyway without taking those steps).

I don't know whether procrastination works the same way in other NJs, because teritary Fi may also contribute to the perfectionism that INTJs are struggling with, however I believe that 90% of these problems are Ni's thing, so probably many ENTJs, ENFJs and INFJs will relate to them.

Dear fellow INTJs and maybe other NJs, you indeed are special, but in order to show it, you need to forget about it for a moment and not let it dictate the way you pursue your aspirations. Be gentle to your abilities and don't expect from yourself more than you, as a human, can do. It's great if you are talented and you dream big, but you need to practice in order to achieve your goals. And it's great news, because it's the work you put in them that will make them twice as big as you wanted them to be.
