One example is maladjusted attitude towards your own mistakes. Can be either too harsh (unrealistic expectations, berating yourself) or too lax (evasive, always have an excuse). It's tough to find the sweet spot of clear-eyed, objective acceptance of mistakes and making a plan to address them.
Once again a terrific piece.
Very rich in ideas that were helpful to me.
Eg
Identifying the tendency to break the game into elements and then not re-integrate.
Solitaire chess.
Not Tearing the head off the king
after the game
was some thing I already knew was questionable
but
during the game?
Thanks bob
