I know most people suffer from this at least a little bit, but do any of you 7s feel like it's a VERY big problem for you. like, putting off short term pleasure for the sake of long term benefit is something that I intimately understand the benefit of, but it's just SOO hard when what you have to do to get a desired result is no fun
As a hardcore 7w8, I offer the following guidance...
(1) Procrastination is hardest for us when we are charged to fulfill someone else's priorities, yet they have no self actualization or even joy potential for us.
(2) Putting in hard work over the long haul is not a problem at all if you identify with the end, the means are by default worth it.
-Bodybuilding is a great example.
++Eating well and exercising in a pre-meditated manner at 80-85% of full physical capacity for 6 weeks will get you very little, but doing so for six years will make you a force to be reckoned with.
++That is, if you identify with bodybuilding.
(3) So, that which you have an affinity for you will not procrastinate in pursuing, whether your own project or that of others.
(4) But that which is not of your liking will be put on the back burner until absolutely necessary.
CONCLUSION:
Hope this helps yez'.
