As I continue recovery from my stroke, taking it one day at a time is my experience, and I embrace it.
Oh, definitely. That's the way to go after something like that.
Would be more helpful if I knew if this was a lifelong attitude mainly... just was trying to make a distinction between Ne-style thinking and Ni-style thinking.
Supposedly, I am Ni rather than Ne... which I agree with more now after some time (years ago I thought it was Ne).
Ne is gathering patterns and Ni is tunnel vision honing focusing on a pattern (after gathering, of course). But Ne mostly gathers and doesn't tunnel vision that much.
It feels like I could do both, but I do lean toward wanting to focus on one thing. Which is why that phrase rubs me the wrong way, despite it being true ("that's all you can do, etc."). I've had to divide my life into a series of projects, like chapters, where I'm only focused on one thing at a time. It's very hard to just do a little bit of one thing, a little bit of another thing, all in the same day. I can't be working on multiple goals at the same time, basically. So it doesn't feel like my life is one day at a time, but a sequence of projects with a beginning and end. Always staring at the goalpost... "are we there yet?" etc.
If you want an example of
highly Ne posts here with no balance at all, yeah... snyprrr LOL...

Congrats for being the rare person who gets Sensor as a result!
