Object level practice (“did you succeed at a concrete thing”)
Longterm work (“do you seem to have succeeded at your broader goals, even if they’re fuzzy and hard to pin down”)
Metacognition (“do your thoughts/feelings/etc seem pointed in useful directions?”)
I think the last bit is connected to mindfulness (or: “mindfulness is one of the tools you can employ to get good at it”). But it still requires being connected to the other two things in order to reliably point in “real” directions.
There are three types of feedbackloops here:
Object level practice (“did you succeed at a concrete thing”)
Longterm work (“do you seem to have succeeded at your broader goals, even if they’re fuzzy and hard to pin down”)
Metacognition (“do your thoughts/feelings/etc seem pointed in useful directions?”)
