ENTps downplaying the importance of planning and scheduling

[aixelsyd]

ILEs and friends, family, and co-workers of ILEs, do most ILEs seem to downplay the importance of planning, scheduling things ahead of time, and being organized about future events, confirming things, and the like?

I know a few like this and considered it as a part of preferring to be lax about definite plans in order to allow for more unexpected events to come up but I also see it in dealing with obligations when multiple projects are going on in a given time frame and then forgetting about one thing or confirming or changing plans at the last minute.

ILEs and planning

I once had an ILE friend who said to me "No schedules, man."

I think they're okay with being pretty loose about plans, which is nice. True flexibility is always appreciated. (by me)

I plan, but not in a "At 12:02 I'm going to eat lunch, at what point I will return by 12:43 and commence work on this tax billing portfolio...." kind of way. I plan in a, "I could do x, y, or z. If x happens, I'll do b or maybe I'll have time to do a...."

It's like I consider all the possibilities and have a rough outline, but am also very open to things that just "come up".

I don't plan, I tentatively plan. I.e I put stuff on a calender then proceed to forget about them.

I plan a lot. It mostly involves something I can procrastinate away by planning something new to amuse myself.

I was supposed to:
Stop drinking
Meet my fuckbuddy today
Apologize every woman I have hurt
Start building my life for seducing Lady Gaga
Buy food, not drugs
Start routinely exercising
Translate a certain book on regulated drug policies
Start a blog
Meet a few relatives
Get my passport from the police station
Buy LSD in bulk
Buy a computer
Save money
Go pick up psychoactive mushrooms
Stop ejaculating
Practice magic more

So far I have done none of those

My plans that come true are more like "that might be fun if opportunity arises" than something I should be doing.
Schedule doesn't belong to my dictionary.

I think I spend most of my life planning things in a way that I can procrastinate on a million other things...

ILE and planning? IDK, they aren't good at it; they are better at not being hooked on any kind of schedule.

[Creepy-pokeball]

My ENTp buddies seem to make self-rules to adhere to, but they seldom actually follow any specific plan. When they do, they rarely follow through, which is usually endearing and sometimes annoying =p

ILEs do not plan ahead very much. ILEs improvise. Improvisation does not mean sloppiness. Only those who have worked hard can do it.

Lol, in the movie "Hot Shots 2: war in the gulf" (starring Charlie Sheen), you can see Saddam Hussein planning his day ahead. He wrote a list like this:

-Get kids to school.
-Executions
-Executions
-Executions
-Lunch with Gaddafi
-Executions
-Executions
