Expert vs Novice


Novice - Needs to be told exactly what to do. Very little context to base decisions off of.
Advanced beginner - Has more context for decisions, but still needs rigid guidelines to follow.
Competent - Begins to question the reasoning behind the tasks, and can see longer term consequences.
Proficient - Still relies on rules, but able to seperate what is most important.
Expert - Works mainly on intuition, except in circumstances where problems occur

Moderate self-control strikes a balance that fosters both discipline and flexibility, allowing individuals to pursue their goals without succumbing to the rigidity that extreme self-control often demands. This balance best promotes psychological well-being, as it accommodates for life’s unpredictabilities and the natural human need for occasional indulgence.
In contrast, extreme self-control can lead to stress, burnout, and a diminished capacity to enjoy life’s pleasures. Life (and work) then may best be approached as a balancing act between rational long-term self-management, but without being so strict or tough on yourself. - https://www.fastcompany.com[..]an-help-you-succeed-according-to-science
