Consciously work to get faster and more accurate feedback.
Example—periodically write down your goals for the next month and year. At the end of the period, review progress. This gives feedback on how much you can currently get done.
It also gives feedback on whether what you are correct in your opinion of what your goals are. If you are not progressing towards your goals they may not actually be important goals. You can use the reviews to reverse engineer what your goals must be given what you spend your time on. Eg if you spend a lot of time surfing the web in an undisciplined manner, then being amused and entertained may be very important to you, or maybe it’s novelty that’s important.
Example—break down larger projects into stages that provide value at each stage, and where you can clearly tell if you have completed a stage. Review the project at the end of each stage to see if you want to continue with it.
Example—ask people around you for feedback on your behavior, strengths, weaknesses. You will probably have to go out of your way to reward “bad news” feedback until people get confident you can take it.
