This is a problem I struggle with all the time and seem unable to learn. Is there a way to improve my Sensing function?
As an N Three, I have the patience of bare feet on hot tar. I cut whatever corner that can be cut so I get things done as quickly as I can muster them. And it works quite well--except when it doesn't work. The frequency that I screw up at the most inopportune moments remains high, and predictably, I end up with a few times more work to undo the screwups which I could have avoided had I slow things down and do it right the first time.
But...it is awfully boring to be slow and steady! And moreover I have the problem of drifting off and losing my head in the middle of things. The last time that my head drifted (today), I miscalculated something by an order of magnitude, an equation that even 4th grade kids can do. Just because I lose my head for a second. And it is not the first time such a thing happened. It is as if I have to fuck up every day because I overlooked details. While I have been somewhat lucky that I have so far not fallen into some life-theatening crisis, it seems a disaster waiting to happen.
So I want to ask other N's: What is the best way of improving the Sensing function and overcoming absent-mindedness? What about impatience?
