Hello I need advice on what I can do to prevent this please.
Every afternoon I get a throbbing headache that varies in intensity from day to day. Sometimes I can feel it in my right eye. I’m thinking of starting to wear blue light glasses but not sure how much that will help. I’m already working with night mode on. I get about 6-8 hrs of sleep, but I don’t think that has an effect.

Interested to know how others tackle this and any practical advice. I generally work 10hrs minimum and reducing isn’t an option.

Any advice you can give based on past mistakes would be great as well.

Currently thinking, since I’m young enough, a bigger bulk in index funds and a smaller in high yielding equities. Sounds vanilla but it is what it is. I’m still learning though so who knows what the future holds…

Early retirement can’t come soon enough.

I find that the part I like the most about travelling is the transition period meaning the airport, trains...

When I get to the destination, it just never lives up to the experience that I thought I would have. It's just never as enjoyable as I thought it would be. I'm just there.

Given how costly it is and my complete indifference which I wish I didn't have, I don't travel anymore. Might as well spend it on something else...

What about you guys?

I think that perceptions on the intp type have become really shallow. We can joke that we are "lazy" and "wasted potential" all we want, but I think the reason is always buried. So much of intp behavior gets dismissed as laziness, as if it doesn't come from somewhere. I think others have a hard time understanding our disregard and indifference towards achievement, external validation, and vanity reducing the type to laziness, without actually understanding what matters to intps first.

One of the main traits associated with our type is the need to understand. As opposed to the happy fun Ne ideas side we use to engage with the world, at our core is a need to reduce to coherent thoughts and assign some kind of meaning, not to just revel in the existence of countless ideas. When we cant do that, it's a problem. A hinderance as well. Getting over it is not so easy since it is the main trait of the intp archetype. Figuring things out and rationalizing something to the point where it seems trivial is unfortunately a habit.

This "laziness" isn't a trait but the affect of our struggle to assign significance. An inability to "make sense" of something. It is an internal struggle that is hard to put into words and I don't think many intps feel secure expressing it. I think that is due to others not seeming to have this problem and knowing that it might be dismissed as immaturity.

The unfortunate affect of this is this stereotype that we don't do anything. I know so many intps, including myself, who don't fit into this "lazy never gets anything done" stereotype. Yes we approach things differently and slower, but the point is that it gets done one way or another.

This "wasted potential" bs unfortunately influences younger intps who I think deep down know that standards of "achievement" that others have don't really matter to them. So why let other's values of what is "important" affect them? A lot of intps don't fit into that box, and the sooner they realize that, then they can move on and thrive.

That's jut my observation and no way an excuse for actual slob behavior. And yes ik it's not that serious.
