Although INTPs might even lose interest in these projects after a while, especially once they feel like they have gained enough from them, or already solved the major problems.

INTPs do sometimes fear failure, and so they hesitate to follow through with some things. When they are afraid of failing or being unable to do something right, they might procrastinate until the last minute or even a bit later than that. For the INTP this fear of failure comes from wanting to be able to analyze all of the information and really make the right steps forward.

INTPs also have vivid inner minds, and this can cause them to become more caught up in analyzing and thinking about the project, than in actually doing it. They might lack the motivation to take action, but don’t lack motivation to analyze and problem solve inside of their minds. They might spend so much time thinking about the project, and so they burn themselves out and don’t really have the same interest in following through after this.

This does sometimes affect their personal motivation and they find themselves struggling to really fight their procrastination.

Ways to Overcome Procrastination

For the INTP overcoming procrastination can be challenging, and is often something they struggle with throughout their lives. One of the means of helping them to get certain tasks finished, is by setting more scheduled projects and chores in their lives. INTPs cannot live in an environment where everything is schedule and organized, but that doesn’t mean they cannot handle the occasional timers or set schedules. To help them get the more important tasks finished, they might need to begin developing these habits. As long as the INTP has plenty of other freedoms and situations where they don’t have to follow rules and schedules, then this won’t affect them negatively but rather it will help them improve things which they may be struggling with. What the INTP needs to do is figure out certain things to set timers for, and keep themselves on a schedule with those tasks in order to get themselves focused.

Incentives are also useful when it comes to helping the INTP get things finished. They often experience guilt over not doing certain important things, and so they don’t really enjoy their downtime quite as much. The INTP can often have certain incentives tied to these tasks, rewards which they give themselves but only once they have completed their requires chores or tasks. This can be something which isn’t necessarily fun for the INTP, but it can help them to get things done which are important.
