Lately, I've been struggling with staying focused and following through on my commitments. As a Type 7, I constantly seek new experiences and get easily distracted by exciting possibilities. This makes it hard to complete projects or stick to routines. How can I balance my need for adventure with the discipline required to achieve my goals? Any tips for managing this restless energy without feeling trapped or bored? Thanks in advance!
