Neuroticism and conscientiousness are somewhat correlated in the literature and indeed it was my experience that boosting conscientiousness boosted neuroticism somewhat. Being able to spin these dials feels useful. Being very outcome focused rather than input focused is also a recipe for a lot of stress that doesn’t necessarily seem very correlated to good outcomes ime. Ofc we want some tracking of outputs as a feedback to inputs so there’s a balance to strike there.
Have you investigated the methods of past people you admire who tried for positive impact?
