I second your thoughts on projecting your beliefs when in a positive state of mind.
Sometimes though, it gets me into the positive bias trap where I over-believe on account of myself of someone else. Still worth it to err on the positive side longer term :)
Good point! I usually feel this over-confidence when I'm properly caffeinated (30g 100% chocolate, 9g coffee) or after an intense weekend consisting of parks, friends, museums, nature, bookshops, etc. -- i.e., brimful of dopamine. At those times, I think I can do anything and everything and commit to too much :D
Agreed with your approach, also funny how this text in my reflects our discussion a month ago 😄

Awesome post!
Is the same with goals for me—I don’t really set them. The usual process goes like this:
1/ I understand what I want to achieve.
2/ I figure out how to make it happen.
3/ I focus on the process, not paying too much attention to the goal itself.
Thanks Pavel! Interestingly, I wrote something similar about goals many years ago: https://vasilishynkarenka.com/why-goals-make-you-fail/
