My current INFP Morning Routine...π
Wake up
Boil water for tea
Hang out in bed while waiting for tea to steep.
Get up, enjoy tea with a piece of fruit or a little breakfast, and journal.
It's not procrastination. It's energy conservation.
I'm not sure if many website developers realize this, but having a good mobile website is also good for accessibility.
Since I have chronic pain, I work quite often from bed, sometimes while laying on my side. It's so wonderful being able to do all the work I need from my phone because I can't always sit up to use a computer.
Enjoying the day, writing alfresco.π€οΈ
Three reasons why I procrastinate as an INFP:
I'm just tired and need more rest.
What I'm being asked to do is either boring or doesn't align with what's important to me.
I'm feeling fear around the process of getting started, so I decide to do other things instead.
When you have the Explorer archetype, others often try to make you feel ashamed of your wandering. Although these worries come from a place of love, they totally miss the point of the gifts that the Explorer has to offer.
Fresh sunny weather causes me to try to take on too many projects!
As a multipotentialite/polymath it's important for me to regularly declutter and limit what I'm working on to avoid getting overwhelmed.
Something about spring leaves me wanting to dive into new things.π± New things I'm diving into:
Crochet
More Loom knitting
Steel tongue drum tutorials
Focus Mastery Coaching Certification course
Introvert friendly online marketing course
Loving the rainy weather today.βPerfect for coffee and a book.
One thing I feel like is overlooked in MBTI is that each personality type is full of contradictions. Looking at the function stack of each type really brings that out. And to me, the contradictions point to how there isn't "one" self but many selves--many archetypes--working together within us as a team.
I think people have a hard time understanding that emotions can cause real physical pain.
I am crazy thankful for the Chef function of Goblin.tools.π Over the past month, I've finally been able to move away from eating processed microwave meals to simply cooking for myself with whatever we have on hand. So good for my health and my wallet.
Just learned a cooking hack today! I had no idea that a potato can be cooked in the microwave. I did this with a small red potato. After stabbing it with a fork, I cooked it for 3 minutes and it was all done. Just mashed it up + salt and pepper.
Got a pleasant surprise today! Two cats were relaxing on the porch. One was gray and white and the other one was black and white. They were obviously neighborhood cats. I can't have a cat b/c of my allergies, but I love looking at them when they come by to visit.
Negative emotions sometimes just need love and compassion.
Analog Office is one of the best blogs I've read in a long time. Love this!
The pen I'm using is a Pilot Precise Varsity, btw. Nothing fancy. I didn't want to invest in something that I wasn't sure would work for me. But...I write by hand way longer with this pen. My hands don't get as tired.
As a lefty, I figured using a fountain pen would be tricky. I've found that holding the pen so that the metal part of the nib is facing my palm keeps it from skipping. βοΈ
So many books to read. So little time.π΅
Today my first fountain pen arrived in the mail! I'm really excited to try it out.
