Expect Only Failure If You Have Poor Feedback Loops
Start fixing the all-too-common problem at the heart of many dysfunctions.
Becoming stuck in work, never finishing things, and feeling the pain of never really “getting there” in terms of what you are doing, might be signs of a poor feedback loop.
A feedback loop is, unscientifically speaking, the process by which you are informed of an action’s outcome. The faster and more exactly you know the outcome, the faster you can learn. The faster you learn, the faster you can improve. If this seems vague, it’s really quite simple. Let’s say that you are redecorating the apartment with your partner, then you’ll probably have a relatively quick and easy feedback loop. When you hang the photo, you ask “Does it look good here?” or “Is it straight?” and you’ll probably get an answer quickly (efficient loop) and hopefully beign informative and to the point (good feedback).
