"Entps put themselves in 11th hour situation in order to activate flow". That's so true it hurts.

06:15 "They found out that Ne was the most difficult to get into flow, but once it was turned on, it would persistently stay tuned until it would burn out. If you're an ENTP that probably resonates with you". It doesn't "resonate". It's a knife of truth sliding right into my heart.

Step one: buy apartment building Step two: hire property manager Step three: paint, play guitar, read about kangaroos cooling themselves off by licking their forearms.

I’ll wait till the night before the due date and then BOOM a giant burst of energy and usually that is when I come up with my best work. Even if I don’t get to sleep that night.

listening at 1.5 speed because i get bored too quick lol

Oh my... I used to have that eleventh hour strategy and always meet the deadlines, it was a question of pride, honour or whatever one may call it. And once, I tripped. Somehow the deadline was there and I decided I didn't care enough. That made me go through an awful time.

My wife and my work boss hated it when I got into that flow. I could work for 14 - 16 strait hours. At midnight, my wife would call my desk to remind me to come home. My boss would remind me that I wasn't authorized overtime.

"I frequently get surprised how linear time is." LOL, same.

Doing things at 11th hour and treating time like am abstract thing is exactly how I did my 4year uni honours projects. Had 7 months to do it. Most class were panicking for months inching their projects towards the deadline. I started mine 1 week before the deadline and got an A

#1 11:00 Discover ways to get into flow that don't require you bastardizing a strategy like making promises at the 11th hour #2 15:00 Practice radical honesty by avoiding the rush of approval that comes from promising something you can't deliver. #3

I never promise stuff I can't deliver on. I'm more on the "I'll try to make it work, but no promises" extreme and I try to push deadlines as far back as humanly possible, so that I'll have the best chances at meeting it.

If you leave things to the last minute you will be older and therefore wiser

Hitting the need for exploration in order to get to a flow state resonates so much with me and is a reminder that, even during Covid, I simply have to explore. This can be tough in a regular work environment if the perception is you are focusing on extraneous things. But, those extraneous things are what fuel my energy for the routine parts of my work.

ENTPs don't respond well to a regimented linier structured work/social environment, but they do love a community. As an ENTP, I learned that I could always deliver the 80% solution in the time I committed to. Hence, I now add 40% to any forecasted commitment (because I am skeptical about myself). My coworkers learned to keep me inspired across the last 20%. My boss knew I needed gentle help to stay focused across the finished line. In the end, they were still astonished by me.

I need a cheris in my life 😩 -ENTP

"Missing an appointment makes you feel like the worst piece of crap". So much that I can take months to get back to the person. I'm struggling with that now because I forgot an appointment with my specialist two weeks ago. Ugh.

OMG I wish I had this information 40 years ago. Life would have been easier to understand the why of putting off doing major work on a projects until the very last minute. Thinking about when I started doing this was probably my senior year in high school when I started my term paper the night before it was due and felt that rush.

After my nights out social dancing, I’d feel so energized, I can flow-do anything! I’d dance anywhere from once a week, to at least monthly or I’d fall into a funk. I could dance less if I was traveling, swimming the ocean, and/or exploring. Definitely on point with this episode. Thanks for the reminder!

THANK YOU FOR THIS . I felt crazy until this

ADHD + ENTP is a unique kind of special. Lucky me.

Does anyone have advice for getting in that "exploration" in quarantine/shut down? I only leave my home to go to work and occasionally the grocery store. I've been feeling so agitated and restless to the point I struggle to get my mind to focus on anything to get in a productive groove with it. Which in itself is agitating... a brutal cycle lately.

The 2 points that get me as an ENTP are 1 time isn't as linear as it is for my friends and family and 2 once I master something it becomes boring to me. Also being emphatic about something until I'm burnt out is something that I have to overcome

I wasn’t going to click on this video but the thumbnail likes very much like my desk.

Clear your workspace and only have things related to the task on your desk. Put all your files on a table in the corner of your office.

Once I’ve been in that flow state of being organized and had my life under control until after a year or so from one day to another I was questioning myself why am I even doing this, all of this, in this specific way? It was like she said in the video the flow state basically burned out and I couldn’t keep it going anymore out of NOWHERE let me tell ya it was crazy. After that I got depressed and lost total control over my life, because I was living in routines without defined reason behind them the purpose of this organization flow state wasn’t actually clear for me and that’s why I lost it. Now I’m working on starting to organize my life again, but now with clear reasons and better techniques that fit my natural strengths. So if anybody has good organization techniques that go well with my type drop it in the reply section please. thank u :)

ENTP READ ME- TBH, I THINK MOST ENTP'S JUST WANT TO BE HEARD WHEN ENGAGED IN DEBATE, NOT BECAUSE THEY WANT TO BE RIGHT JUST FOR THE SAKE OF DEBATING (not that, debating to be right, was ever your argument), BUT TO GET THEIR POINT ACROSS (AND MOST LIKELY LEARN SOMETHING IN THE PROCESS) OF DOING SO.

The way that this is described about meeting deadlines is sooooo me!

Time absolutely slows down and speeds up depending on my state of flow ... Miraculous bouts of production follow weeks of meditating upon my anxiety about getting started 🤷🙃

7:18 😂 I immediately started laughing in my car!! 😊

This is a great podcast, learned a lot guys. Thanks for sharing.

How many of y’all are 2 minutes in and just realized this was still playing in the background

One thing I find it very fascinating that when it is "work" I need to wait until the burst of energy but when it comes to various topic topic I am interested in I genuinely keep on working on them until I get bored. So mainly the time I don't work I just do random bullshit complex stuffs and thinking which can for still called work since it consumes my energy.

Lol i just internally told myself Good luck when i saw the title... me knowing it’s hopeless but also funny

The Boredom that comes after partial mastery of a skill or when I feel that I have reached the point of I can’t learn much more here is so real.

Can you please do one of these for INFPs? I have great days where I'm totally productive and focused, other days I get almost nothing done even though I'm mentally focused on the task... It's really exhausting and I feel like a complete failure when this happens. I feel like I am exerting so much mental energy but with no results. On these days I might as well throw in the towel and play video games or watch TV but that makes me feel guilt as well. I would take any tips or advice on how to maximize my productivity.

Wow I had so much clarity about myself and how I work from this podcast - thank you

It's funny how you could exchange ENTP with ADHD and it would still work.

I've just learned so much about me. I've got a lot to do.

the intj thinks we can't see that she love her boss 😂😂 we can tell that u really really love her!! intj so clueless sometimes 💞

Great podcast , I can certainly identify with the difficulty for Extroverted Intuition to reach Flow State . Very true also that once it's in active motion it tends to stay in motion and can burn very hot . Enjoyed the audio , new subscriber now .

END COMMENT CRITICAL OBSERVATION- did anyone else notice that the Podcaster and the female lawyer who owner a firm, and was also stated to be an entp, were both the bosses of their environments.

I tested as an ENTP years ago. Have adhd so I love new n novel stuff, adaptable to change. This is also a part of me. Im only an ENTJ now cuz I have a fixed mission to be self sufficient with a business

Amazing content!

21:20 yes she can see the truth. She can be willing to do anything about it, but not able. To make radical change, is to fully comprehend. You won’t be able to guide her through the process of making change.

00:00 - 00:11 - Intro # I liked how they didnt do an intro for minutes a lot, thanks for saving my time up even though here i am wasting it writing these down but hey, i wanted to do it so im gonna do it. 00:11 -

Omg this is so helpful

Being in ENTP in charge gets boring and lonely. Spreadsheets, if simple, at best is a guideline. Quick verbal check ins work best. And having someone who organizes my desk is a godsend, mostly.

That shiz about putting myself in that 11th hour flow... yeah... I was up in it this week. I had put off doing my taxes the past 2 years bc i was so bz working and traveling back n forth between 2 states, breaking up w an ex, moving out n just getting my shit together 🤦‍♀️ now w this pandemic n stimulus happening; that's when I put myself in gear about my monies. Ofc I knew this was about to happen, I had major expenses coming up, so I picked up another job back in January. Specifically to be a sole proprietor so that I can stack these major expenses as a business cost. Worked 60-80 hours a week, 7 days a week for the 3 months up til now. Put off my health so I can have more money to pay taxes plus get the stimulus money so I can pay whatever else I owe and put it back into furthering my business. Yup this could of been avoided 😅😂🤭

Given a project with no deadline? Good if you never have to complete it.

Who else is watching this video as a way of getting into that sweet 11th hour panic mode? Yeah, oopse.

I have tried different methods to be more organized unsuccessfully. I also was listening half half of the video unconsciously although I want to be more organized

I totally relate to the procrastination until you become superwoman and get it all done. The problem is, I hate this methodology. My family is suffering because of it and I feel burnt out doing it every time.

Depends how bad the ENTP is. If he is a real baddie there is no way to organize the ENTP, and it is probably the fastest way to get yourself fired. It requires tremendous intimate relation to let someone else boss you around as ENTP, or a boat load of development. Likely, it either ends in an affair if you up to that, or being fired.

"we look younger than what we are" me, and entp, looking like 40 although I'm 24

More minions 🥸🫴

Does this mean I can write off travel as a business expense? 😅

Please forward Cheris’ contact information 😁

I’m having a hard time seeing the difference between ENTP and ENFP. I know kinda what to look for but it’s hard.

Lol can't 😂

Ah yes, time for episode 394742 of is it my ADHD of am I "just" Ne dom

Spreadsheet? Ugh. Already bored.

NP types = adhd

This have no deal with entps or mbti whatsoever

Addison has too much vocal fry at the end of sentences. Ok skip.
