what things come off to NTs as a waste of time?

1. People that are too interested in cliques and tell everybody what they
want to hear

2. goals that get redundant once the novelty wears off and present no new
challenges

3. Information that comes up more than once when they are looking for some
thing

4. Opportunities that they check out to get out of a situation but lead back
to the original situation and leave little room for training to develop in other
areas

5. sticking to one set of things because of being nervous about newness or
change.

8. Arguing on the internet.

This, because you have to repeat yourself again and again and again, as there is always another person just around the corner using the same lousy arguments as the other person that you just "won" over . Winning an argument on the internet is like removing a drop of water from the sea, so I usually tackle these kind of things by going for the largest impact on the most people - e.g.: The ignorance of the Irish people regarding the Lisbon Treaty. Instead of discussing it with every single eurosceptic on the internet, I decided to write directly to the EU Ombudsman and give him some suggestions as to how the EU could fix this problem and prevent scum like the Sinn Féin from taking advantage of the ignorance.

But I sometimes can't help myself. :rolli:

laundry, dishes... all that crap is just gonna get dirty again anyway. Wash on an as-needed basis.

Oh no! I put a dish in the sink and didn't immediately rinse it off and put it away! THE END OF THE WORLD!

For INTPs specifically, doing anything for the purpose of a desired result, rather than to enjoy the "action" (i.e. thought) itself.

I don't think it's a waste of time, I actually enjoy it, I know it's probably stupid to enjoy it but I can't help it. I actually like debating as long as the topics are familiar to me.

School in general. Social situations. Maintenance.

One of these days I'll get around to laundry. Meanwhile, these shirts seem to air out quickly enough for rotation...
