The general topics I'm talking about quite interesting: * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_dissonance * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning_curve * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychology_of_learning I recommend this systems dynamics paper for proposing a simple model to help quantify the tradeoff between investment and execution: http://web.mit.edu/nelsonr/www/Repenning=Sterman_CMR_su01_.pdf http://web.mit.edu/nelsonr/www/Repenning=Sterman_CMR_su01_.p...
