Lately, I've been struggling to balance my passion for research with the need for practical application. As an Enneagram Type 5, I find myself diving deep into studies and data, but often get lost in the details and struggle to translate my findings into actionable steps. How do you manage to stay grounded while still indulging your curiosity? Any tips on setting boundaries or prioritizing tasks would be greatly appreciated! 📚🔍
