I'm an ENFP. What are you?!

I retook the Myers-Briggs Personality type test tonight. I know I have done this before and I don't think I have changed...I'm an ENFP. Extroverted, Intuitive, Feeler, Perceiver. It is so crazy to me how absolutely accurate my personality type describes me.

My mind is constantly filled with ideas as I think I have previously discussed and it turns out this is all due to my personality type. I want to know everything. I want to do everything. Maybe learning to understand my personality type will help me to better understand how to battle the weaknesses of the ENFP.

In an effort to reach my future goals, and not get sidelined by my personality type, I came up with 3 (well sorta 4) very broad goals.

1. Have a Happy Family 

 - Not that I don't right now but I'm sure there is always something to work on. I think it's very important to work towards maintaining relationships with your family. 

2. Do what I love (career focused)

 - I feel like this may be the toughest for me to accomplish because I love so many things. 

3. Become stronger in my faith

 - Definitely religious but I know I have a lot to learn and plenty of room to grow. 

4. Figure out the steps it takes to accomplish goals 1-3. 

Tomorrows goal: Add subcategories/specifics to the above goals

For all you ENFP's out there!

I Love Lists...

The title says it all...I LOVE lists. Any kind of list. I may even have a slight obsession with them. Here is a list of reasons why I think I love lists so much:)

1. They help me organize my thoughts
2. Keep me from forgetting things
3. Everything is organized
4. Putting a checkmark by a completed task makes me feel AMAZING
5. It's fun to look back at them to see what I have accomplished and what I still have left to do

I think that many people make "to do" lists and I also make these but I make many more lists...in fact...I write lists of future lists I want to make. Here are some samples of lists I make...

1. To do Lists
2. Bucket Lists
3. Lists with bills
4. Grocery Lists
5. Errands to run
6. Gift lists
7. Lists of recipes I want to make
8. Housecleaning lists
9. Lists of topics that I want to learn about/write about

I would definitely say that I'm an "idea" person. So, with all of those ideas there is also a lot of chaos. Writing a list helps me to organize the chaos so I can see everything clearly and I can always add to it if I think of something else. I used to have trouble falling asleep at night because of so many thoughts swirling around in my head so I started my lovely list writing habit. I noticed that putting down all of my thoughts on paper helps my mind to relax because I know everything I'm thinking at that particular moment will still be there in the morning...hand written in one of my lovely list notebooks.  That's write I have notebooks dedicated solely to lists. There is nothing better than a brand new notebook or notepad just waiting to get written on.

I know this post is probably more than a little random but I'm pretty sure my list making habit will come up in the future so I thought a little background might be nice. It's off to bed for me with another fun day of office work ahead of me...If you're bored feel free to count how many times I said "list" in this post:) Nighty-night!

Oh you know, just my Christmas Card List:)
