self-improvement

It's June - let's look at the year so far and see how we've transformed: devised fairly efficient pot pie eating system maintained a respectable horror movie watching quota stopped buying shoes that aren't slip-ons calligraphy

Erin Pavlina's articles on "Fear-based Guides" as opposed to "Love-based Guides" piqued my interest for more information about the "Fear-based guides" (also read the part II). After doing further analysis and research, I've found out that the "fear-based guides" can also be called ego-based...

I'm put off by (most of the) people around me. They neither take their work seriously, nor do they make an attempt to improve. It's especially the case when I come across people who share my skill sets (writing, programming, and a bit of UX). What can I do to avoid hating them, or better yet, to...

I know that we ENTPs put a lot of effort into self-improvement and stuff like that. What areas do you find yourself emphasizing most of your efforts to? What tips/tricks/methods/techniques have worked, or not worked, for you? Or do you just not bother with self-improvement at all because as an...

I'm actually trying to accomplish something this summer by taking a stab at some self-improvement (crazy, right?). Some of the things I would like to get around to include perfecting my conversational German, amassing information to build my knowledge base, exercising more, catching up on...

Bahhhh I'm plagued by a thousand interesting thoughts despite an ominous deadline; I have to be ready for my organic chem exam by 6:15! Okay, I guess I'll boil down my existence into some key points to be discussed and contemplated later. Just so I don't explode. I read four chapters for...

As an INFP I have the ability to romanticize whatever I want. I can get nostalgic over anything in this room if I wanted to. For the first time in my life (I'm 16) I've got a hopeless crush. These things are absolutely worthless and sinfully thought-consuming; feeling so strongly about someone...

I am an extrovert! I love meeting new people, going to parties and having a lot friends! BUT a couple of my coworkers have recently described me as shy. I think the real problem is the ENFP dislike of small talk. Just the other day a coworker was telling me about how much she loved her friend's...

Real Life. Change. - A&E TV They donate a dollar for every change you pledge to the charity of your choice for a ripple effect of getting things headed in the right direction from us and from them. I think that is an amazing concept!:happy:

What are you doing today to improve yourself? Post motivational stuff and strategies you've been using to work on your weak areas! Here are some weak areas (informal list compiled from a bunch of sources + my own ENFP-ness) that we as ENFPs can work on: 1. Organization/messiness 2. Dealing...
