Im below average with darkness, anger & hate

Grammatical errors dont bother me. I usually dislike those that get angry about them. It seems wasteful of energy better invested elsewhere. I wrote and self-published, a non-fiction book with sales so far of about thirty thousand dollars. I am writing another. I am considering an editor for the next edition because of the whining about a few typos and grammatical issues.

Im not a perfectionist but lean a bit more heavily that way than I want to so it slows my productivity down. I want to lighten up on it because I like to finish things efficiently enough to be useful and start AND finish another project. It seems many INTJ's are militant about grammer and punctuation. It seems INTP's dont finish things.

I finish things quite adequately but a bit more slowly than I want because I like the profit from what is complete. My desk, vehicle and home is messy but I know where everything is. I dislike organizing because its so boring. My organization is minimal. I hate schedules, plans and commitments.

I only make others intentionally uncomfortable if they need it, and only if I am bored, or it benefits me personally. I dont share the dark thoughts many INT types seem to have.

I am highly analytical but like to put my designs into practice for the benefit of all those thoughts. I feel very lucky to be 50/50 J/P paired with INT.

Where I would like to improve is to be more effective with output. I think I think too much and want to be more productive.

Does anyone care to discuss their thoughts on similarities or differences or make suggestions where I can improve my productivity following your expriences or methods.

I am self employed so I answer to few other than customers.

I'm basically your opposite.

I hate incorrect grammar and am notorious for correcting people's spelling and grammar constantly. I love having plans and schedules. I use web-based project management software for my software projects, and task lists for day-to-day life. I hate messy/cluttered desks and rooms--I always keep my apartment clean and neat. I enjoy organizing. I can't find my way around messy rooms, so it's not even an option for me.

I find it very difficult to keep up with everything without a 'dashboard' per se-virtual/physical places I can glance at and immediately know what I have to be doing (like personal finances and budgets, project plans, paychecks/bills coming up, future meetings and appointments, shopping I have to do, people I have to email, etc). I like to have a command center.

Write your thoughts down, on paper. Use mind maps, lists, everything you can to get thoughts out of your head and into the physical world. When working on my software projects I often times just have to pull out a piece of paper and write/draw the whole concept on it. Only then do I finally understand what it is I"m trying to do...

Well, that's quite the dramatic opening line...lol.

I second Mhy's suggestion about a virtual command center. Try to find a way to duplicate it or use something that duplicates itself. You don't want to be completely fucked if you lose your planner in an airplane or something. I speak from experience...
