This one has been on my mind for quite a while now.
I've frequently read it that procrastination is somewhat common among INFJs, but it's been a personal problem of mine as well that has become worse over the course of my studies.
Is it true that NFs, especially INFs, have a tendency to procrastinate?
If so, my guess would be that it's (in no particular order) due to:
- disability/weakness to judge something by objective or external standards,
- lack of motivation / self confidence,
- fear of being definitive, and therefore self-restricting,
- getting distracted easily.
Can anyone add to the things I've mentioned? Can anyone relate to that? Also, since I guess everyone has experienced this problem every now and then, what do you do about it?
I've fallen way behind on my schedule and begin to have issues writing even smaller stuff since lately. It's really becoming so frustrating to see that I don't utilize my potential. I know that I'm really good at writing papers once I set my mind to it and start to do it, for crying out loud.
But I feel almost paralyzed.
Any input would be highly welcome.
