For people with a navigating instinctual bias, it’s important to make sure that you’re creating effective processes and structures for routine tasks. Navigators have a tendency to ignore things related to the preserving domain and resist structure, process, and paying attention to details. It’s as if some part of their mind is telling them that if they get too stuck in a process, they’ll lose their ability to wander and explore, either literally or intellectually. Navigators have to remember that by creating processes and structures for routine things, their life becomes more effective, more skillful, and more disciplined, which actually gives them more free time to do the navigating activities that they really enjoy and care about. So, if you’re a navigator and want to become more skillful and effective in your life and work, remember the importance of the preserving domain and creating processes and structures for repetitive activities.
