I used to never plan anything. It seemed everyone planned everything for me already, anyway (Im the fifth child of 8). School, work, worship, etc all had to be performed on schedual. Eventually it began to catch up to me because I would take on more and more responsiblities led by an over active
So I began to plan loosely. For example I will make a list to see how much I can get done. It may include far more items than I can do in a day but at least it gives me some structure. I actually learned this from studying type. I found out that some types are list makers. No one in my family is except my mother so I thought she was just strange. HA!
Since type is about preference I decided I could do things that I was not accustomed to do just to try it on for size. So every now and then , esp when falling behind, I try to go into J mode and accomplish things with a loose schedual. It really works and Im less stressed and disorganized.
I even decided to try to work on all my preferences to see if I could modify them, pretending like Im a different type. Now I dont feel locked in to my past behavoir like I did at some points.
