Why Quiet People Get More Done?

Have you ever wondered why quiet people get more things done? If you have, you're not alone because our curiosity also pushed us to explore this subject. Psychologists have explained that humans can be divided into two broad personalities based on how they build their energy. If you build your energy by interacting and socializing with other people, you can be said to be an extrovert but if you build your energy from being quiet and spending time by yourself it is said that you're an introvert. Why do these quiet individuals get more done despite spending most of their time with themselves? Let's find out.

Here Are Some Reasons.

They Listen More.

Quiet people don't do a lot of talking so where do they invest all that energy? Listening. Rather than talking about why something went wrong or whining about how difficult a certain task is. Quiet people would rather listen for constructive criticism or feedback and this factor also makes them relatively easy to work with, everybody wants to be seen and heard, and what better way to do things than by listening attentively to what other people have to say. Now, this doesn't necessarily mean that people who talk a lot aren't good listeners. It simply points to the fact that quiet people don't really enjoy talking so they would rather listen to you. This becomes a habit in the long run which in turn causes them to become intent listeners reading body language and catching on to every single detail and on a related note.

 

They're A Sponge Of Information.

You've probably wondered what introverts and quiet people do with all their time. If they don't frequent parties or hang out at the bar every Friday night and if they don't hang out with friends as much as extroverts do. So, the big question is what do they do with all that time? Most quiet people use this time as an opportunity to learn they read books watch movies or documentaries learn how to use new software play games read articles watch the news or involve themselves in something that would make them feel productive. Naturally, when they do this repeatedly, they start to slowly become a sponge of information knowing a little bit about everything. Most importantly they know how to bring this wealth of information to their careers and personal lives making them achieve even more in the long run.

 

They Have A Learner's Mentality.

Being quiet will fill you with the need to always learn. They usually have time on their hands. The time meant for a hangout with friends the time for a party instead of going to these social events. They would rather stay in their homes and finish up on a book or a task. This constant need to learn gives them a learner's mentality. A belief that there's always something new to learn from a situation a person a job or even an opportunity that doesn't come their way. Having a learner's mentality makes it easier to become a sponge for information and when you do you can make some life-changing improvements for yourself based on what you have learned.

 

They Take Notes Both Mental And Physical.

Every quiet person knows this, notes are important. They never assume that they'll remember the idea or that inspiration. So, rather than take the chance of losing it forever they write it down, but it isn't just about writing things down introverted people are great observers so taking mental notes is a huge part of their lifestyle too. Have you ever noticed that your quiet friend is usually the first to notice something distinctive about you or usually is the only one who remembers something specific about you like maybe the fact you like your coffee with more milk than sugar or that you never take a drink unless something is really bothering you? This ability to take mental notes causes them to be great friends and colleagues which in turn makes you more likely to share opportunities or want to work with them.

 

They Are Great At Planning.

What do you do with your time if you've got more than enough of it? You make careful plans. Quiet people are usually in their heads a lot and it gives them time to process information for as long as needed. They know exactly how long it'll take them to complete a task. What they need to do to complete it and the probable challenges that will come up along the way then they make a solid plan around all of it. Planning your goals and aspirations is a major part of being successful even though some successful individuals thrive on spontaneity. Careful planning gives you the ability to control the situation to a very large extent increasing the chances of being successful. It the fact that they also take more time to process information gives them more time to develop improved strategies to execute their ideas.

They Observe More Than They Talk.

Observation is the superpower of every quiet person. These people could sit alone at a table in a café and observe everyone around them. Giving themselves a better understanding of the environment than any other person and interestingly strong observational skills are very important in the business world. You must be able to observe your market your potential clients and even your business partners. By observing their environment, a quiet person is more likely to discover a consistent pattern for success and to become successful they just must replicate this pattern. Smart right of course it is you can't deny this genius.

 

They Are Creative.

If you spend most of your time in your head it's only a matter of time before your imagination becomes enhanced. If you develop an improved imagination, you will no doubt have an astounding effect on your creativity. Careful observation and planning allow quiet people to see problems from inventive perspectives. With more time on their hands to come up with solutions, they're more likely to discover ingenious ways to solve a problem. Creativity and silence have a huge connection it's why writers, painters, and even musicians sometimes need a heavy dose of quiet time to get creative.

 

They Know Their Priorities.

If you spend half your day holed up in your bedroom with no human connection, you're bound to see things that are important to you. You lost your job okay you already know there's no use feeling depressed about it. Instead, the priority is to understand why this happened and prevent it from happening again. Most times quiet people will also prioritize their quiet time over meeting up with friends. Even though this wouldn't sit so well with their friends. Quiet people see it as a priority that should sit above everything else. Furthermore, understanding your priorities and going for them typically guarantees some success in life usually because you aren't wasting time on unimportant things.

 

They Are Self-Aware.

By being self-aware quiet people are usually able to change how they are perceived by other people. They're always thinking of how they look and sound to others and most times this gives them an opportunity to define their persona to fit certain situations. This also pushes them to try to become better people. Come to think of it is it common to find a quiet person in a situation where they could be embarrassed? Not so common, that's because they're so self-aware of their skills and personality type that they would never willingly or knowingly put themselves in a difficult position unless it's necessary for their growth.

 

They Have Control Of Their Mind.

What's the advantage of interacting with your mind on a regular basis? You develop a mastery of how your mind works and if you've got the power to control your mind you can filter out negative thoughts and improve your emotional health and your self-control. Your mind controls everything that you do and if you allow it to have the upper hand it'll throw you out of the driver's seat. Importantly controlling your mind helps you to control how you react to situations whether positively or negatively which on the other hand could influence the quality of your life.

 

They Use Obscurity As An Opportunity To Grow.

Most people like to be seen and applauded for their efforts including quiet people but well not all the time. Quiet people like obscurity because it affords them the opportunity to grow and improve on their own terms. While being in public is a great way to get feedback and constructive criticism. You'll agree to it kind of puts a certain level of pressure on your shoulders. However quiet people use building obscurity to learn other important skills such as self-control mastery of the mind and the ability to keep working despite nobody being there to applaud the little winds. Usually, quiet people are more interested in results rather than letting the world know about the process. You could say they take the following quote quite literally confuse them with your silence and shock them with your results.

 

They Can Easily Gain The Trust Of Other.

They listen intently pay attention and they don't particularly have too much to say in this way to gain the trust of other people. As mentioned earlier we all love to be listened to and when this happens it makes us feel safe around the listener. A factor that contributes significantly to building trust. Here's the question for you, who are you most likely to trust in a span of three months? A friend who speaks every minute barely allowing you to chip in a word or a friend who listens and asks the right questions the latter right? This is because feeling heard is a strong part of being human and a recipe for building trust. Also, we all naturally feel like our secrets are safer with quiet people because they are.

 

They Can Typically Concentrate Better.

In a world where noise has become a constant part of our lives the need to concentrate has become even more important. We can barely go a minute in today's world without being distracted by something like a smartphone a loud horn in the street a fight or even the noise from the television, but quiet people have another superpower up their sleeves. An ability to stay laser-focused when they complete a task. Usually, they're able to avoid distractions and this explains why they really hate interruptions because it cuts off their flow of thought. Naturally, this makes them more productive, and they usually get a lot of things done in record time.

 

They Are Selective About Who They Make Friends with.

It's common for a quiet person to not seek out social validation. This is usually because they have a strong belief in their abilities to survive alone and sometimes don't see certain human interactions as a priority or even enjoyable. Luckily for them, this makes it easier to walk away from toxic and unhealthy relationships. It's not news that quiet people ordinarily don't have many friends and this isn't because they're shy, they're just selective about who they bring into their inner circle. This careful examination makes them more likely to develop meaningful and richer relationships. What you just never know might be what they need to build something successful.

 

They Are Intuitive.

Did you know that you can sharpen your instincts? The secret is none other than constant introspection. Quiet people spend an awful lot of time thinking building scenarios and imagining events in their minds and while this might seem like an aimless endless venture it helps them to have a better understanding of their thought, feelings, and emotions. With a better understanding of these things, we learn to navigate life with more clarity using our instinct as a meter for judging situations. It's that little voice and even though it isn't right all the time listening to this voice and sometimes doing what it suggests is a great way to train your instinct. If we don't take the time to be introspective our thoughts will always feel jumbled up.
