The life system is missing extra fulcrums
It's a single-point system that runs on me alone
I often get stuck with no value feedback
Hard to feel happy
Whether it's an easy referral
or reaching out myself into worse information asymmetry
the hours before an interview are agony
I can't focus on my own work
Waiting after the interview is hard too
You put yourself into someone else's evaluation system
with no stable mechanism underneath
like a person supporting you
or another value system giving you backing and feedback
Can't think clearly
I feel I can only do mechanical repetition to kill waiting time
like studying for a cert
Forcing a fixed feedback loop on myself
Learning and exams are things that won't betray you
