If you’re getting desperate about your relationship with planning and to do lists, they just might not fit your personality type…
Planning and to do lists do not suit everybody
I just read an article that links productivity with the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. It explains how working in a structured way is great for people who have a preference for the lifestyle called ‘judging’. And how it’s not so great for people who prefer the lifestyle called ‘perceiving’.
The article has handy tips for creating a productivity style that may suit you better if you’re a perceiver. It’s short and practical, and I recommend clicking here to read it.
Do it YOUR way
To increase your happiness and feel good about yourself: do things your way when you can, and the structured way only when you need it…
(Obviously, this works the other way around if you’re a judger: structure when you can, and use the other style only when you need it.)
Stop procrastinating now! 
I remember taking the test, many years ago. I”m pretty sure I’m a J but I bet I have some P in me. I like my lists but I don’t feel there is a pre-determine order. I like a schedule but with flexibility. I’ll do something a specific way for awhile until I get bored then I may change it up. and will definitely change it if it is inefficient for speed. So I guess you can say, I’m a J until I’m not LOL. Interesting perspective.

I also remember taking this test years ago, although I can not remember the results. I do schedule with flexibility as well. I do find however, I get a bit frustrated when people or events get in the way.

I loved the Myers-Briggs test, but I do not remember how I got classified. I think I was close to 50/50 on P vs. J.
