I can really empathize with the last two paragraphs—I tend to not emotionally feel so well when I’m trying to optimize hard, because I won’t know for a while whether I’m optimizing hard enough. Maybe this is where the whole ‘goals’ thing comes in—it seems to be setting up a feeling of ‘I will be satisfied if I achieve X’, where X is something that you know whether you accomplished.
I’m interested in the structure of your file, as well as the contents of your ‘Rules and Heuristics’ section—can you give any more detail on this?
