Intro to ENFP personality type

The MBTI is a self-reported personality survey on respondents’ feelings and preferences. Then you align yourself with one of the 16 MBTI personality types.

Each MBTI type has 4 letters:

Either an I or an E letter initially. These need for having an /introverted or extroverted MBTI type respectively
This first letter is then followed by either an S or letter N (sensibility/intuition),
Then a letter T or F for the thinking and the feeling MBTI types.
And then finally either a letter P or a letter J or a P (judgment/perception).

The main idea of knowing your MBTI type is that your raised self-awareness means you can match your behavioural responses:

To work more effectively on a team, especially in terms of dealing with conflict.
You can also communicate more effectively if you have a better idea of how people process what you tell them.

How to spot the ENFPs at work

An ENFP is a charming, free-spirited, and energetic individual. They are curious and observant, and their openness and great communication skills help them always have a group of friends around them.
Campaigners can be highly emotional, which is both good and bad, depending on the situation. They also tend to overthink and get stressed easily.
Because of all of this, Campaigners typically thrive in environments where they can work with people and/or network. They also like challenges and constantly developing and improving themselves.
ENFPs don’t like strict rules and prefer exploring new alternatives; their growth-oriented mindset often impresses their superiors. They like brainstorming and listening to other people’s ideas as much as sharing their own. They love learning new things, but their interest can start fading as soon as they get a grip on it.
A Campaigner is a people person and their colleagues can become their friends too.
As a manager, ENFPs take the role of a leader rather than a superior, working alongside their subordinates and inspiring and motivating them if necessary.

ENFP Productivity Tips

Your biggest challenge is staying focused. Here’s how you can improve your focus and, consequently, your productivity:

Write to-do lists. It’s best to write them the night before, so when you wake up you already know what you have to do and how your day is going to look like.
Take regular breaks. Your brain can’t stay focused forever, and when it gets tired it searches for distractions. Take short breaks every 45-60 minutes to keep your mind fresh.
Eliminate distractions. Speaking of distractions — be aware of what distracts you the most and make sure you get rid of it when you’re working.
Live healthy — regular sleep, exercise, and nutritious food (especially healthy fats and fruit and vegetables such as berries and broccoli) can significantly help your brain focus more easily.
Batch similar tasks together. When you switch to a task completely different from the one you were doing before, your brain has to adjust to a different way of thinking and loses some focus in the process. To minimize that, batch similar tasks together and do them one after another.
