The most obvious moves, to me, eventually, are to either be intensely neutral (as in, trying not to tie my emotional state to my track record), or to iterate on using AI to help here (futuristic and potentially dangerous, but with other nice properties).
A very simple example is, “Feed a log of your activity into an LLM with a good prompt, and have it respond with assessments of how well you’re doing vs. your potential at the time, and where/how you can improve.” You’d be free to argue points or whatever.
Reading this comment makes me think that you are basing your self-worth on your work output. I don’t have anything concrete to point to, but I suspect that this might have negative effects on happiness, and that being less outcome dependent will tend to result in a better emotional state.

That’s cool. I had the thought of developing a “personal manager” for myself of some form for roughly similar purposes
