Supergoals and goals known, but unconscious affective death spirals or difficulties in actioning a far goal are interfering with the supergoals.
Supergoals and goals known, goal is suboptimal.
Supergoals not known consciously, subgoal known but suboptimal given knowledge of supergoals.
You bring up a really good point here. I would say that my unconscious thinking was making oversights and unexamined assumptions in the pursuit of goals. For example, thinking “Okay there’s a bunch of stuff that I want, but if I just become super effective at reaching goals generally, then I’ll get those things automatically.” Because it was overlooking other ways of reaching these goals, it both failed to be motivated by some helpful things, like programming study even if not impressive, and it also thought less creatively about how to hit the supergoal.
