"Feeling Scatterbrained? Asana has been a lifesaver for this INTP
https://app.asana.com/
^Asana is a project management app made by one of the co-founders of Facebook.
(just as a reference, another competing app is Basecamp, by the company formerly 37Singals, which I also respect a lot)
Yet ASANA has been my lifesaver-- I am a hardcore INTP who canāt remember what to do next-- yet I can solve the most complicated problems on Earth, very much like Albert Einstein-- though I am nowhere near solving anything like world hunger or terrorism.
But I have been able to:
-
make any business process into a repeatable Asana task that can then be assigned to a minimum wage person;
-
break complicated tasks into smaller pieces that then can be completed by minimum wage staff
-
organize my entire life and know what to do next and whatās left to do
I gain such a sense of relief knowing that I Have written everything down that I need to do;
then I use Asana to reorganize and prioritize what needs to be done.
I can also āassignā these tasks to other people or contractors I work with, and then set due dates for certain tasksā¦
Also best thing about Asana is that itās FREE.
And for businesses, you can pay for extra features; but unless youāre running a serious business youāll never need to pay for this app.
So I just wanted to share this tip with my fellow INTPās, because itās made my life not just manageable over the last few years, but also enjoyable and now I feel really powerful with this app behind me!
Itās like Asana is my 2nd brain.
Asana is sort of like my backup-- and then I can use my real brain for RAM.
So Asana has freed up my brainpower so I can use my existing 12GB of ram to solve problems rather than using the RAM to remember all the tasks that only need to be ārememberedā but not solved.
Itās because INTPs are always solving some complicated problem-- and when you introduce new information ālike a new taskā it completely resets this process and causes stress.
So relieve some stress, start using Asana."
