Tips for ENTPs to be successful and productive.

Force yourself to follow a routine that’s planned out. Get up at a specific time (5:00?) and make your bed. Shower. Eat something small (a yogurt or toast maybe) for breakfast. Don’t waste any time. On your way to the gym, stop at one specific coffee stand. The same one every day, order the same thing, try to be there by the exact same time every day (6:00? 6:30?). Have a workout routine you are physically capable of completing every day, and complete it every day. Go to work or school or whatever, and afterwards, have somewhere specific to be (maybe the library for studying). If you’re actually don’t have anywhere you have to be, just go back to the gym for an hour or so. Make sure you get to bed early enough that by the time you have to get up the next morning, you will be fully rested.

Having a routine is extremely important for productivity, even if you don’t enjoy it. Even the parts of your routine that aren’t necessarily “useful” in themselves (making the bed, buying coffee) serve the purpose of reinforcing your routine and helping you feel like you’re doing something all the time.

Also: -Make sure to eat a lot. Eating is productive. -Avoid caffeine in the second half of the day -Avoid alcohol and marijuana altogether -Don’t sleep in on weekends -Delete all the social media apps (and reddit) from your phone and do not reinstall them. -If you tend to waste a lot of time watching porn (pretty common), just stop. It’s as simple as that. -If you aren’t going to school and you don’t have a job, spend at least 8 hours per day every day filling out applications until you get a job. Minimum wage, part time jobs are not difficult to get for anyone, and it’s infinitely better than nothing at all.
