The One Easy Life Upgrade To Make In Your Home, Based On Your Myers-Briggs Type
If you've been meaning to upgrade your living situation at home but don't exactly know where to start, look to yourself for all the inspiration and direction you need. I mean, literally: pick a life upgrade to make in your home based off your Myers-Briggs type!
Knowing your Myers-Briggs personality type can not only help you to understand yourself on a psychological level, but it can also steer your towards making basic decisions and life choices. For example, if you know about yourself that you thrive with structure, you might want to spend a little time thinking about the structural systems you have in place in your life.
So, when it comes to the home, you can consider how solid your organizational system is. Knowing that structure can help to improve your well being, you can implement structural changes to your home. You might want to get a better planner, an AI in-home assistant, or maybe even a new custom closet. While it's easy to spend hours on the internet browsing deals and convincing yourself that you need everything that looks good in a picture, it's a better use of your time to figure out your personality type and adjust your home accordingly. Take the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, and then check out my suggestions for home improvement based on your results.
