How do you measure a personal growth rate?

Have you ever questioned yourself "Am I learning fast enough?"
"Are my skills actually developing or I'm stagnating?"
So, how do you measure your growth to give yourself comfort knowing you are not standing in one place at the same time you aren't too demanding.
We may put ourselves under pressure to deliver more, but often when we reflect on the past, we can see the change clearly.

Learning is ephemeral. Mental models are more permanent, if revisited often. Mental models are sort of the foundation of our brain. Where as learning is something that we use and throw away. IMO

@sentry_co interesting way of thinking. Where did this theory came from or its your own conclusions?
@nevemind_com Past predicts the future. People that are successful go on being successful not because they have monopoly on information. But because they strengthen their mental models that has worked in the past. A good strategy is to surround your self with people with strong mental models. I.E Harvard and MIT give away their curriculum for free online. Its the same thing everyone else has access to. What you get from these schools is amazing peers that amplify your mental models. Again IMO
Interesting question. For me, it's less about numeric metrics, more about qualitative assessment. Am I learning new skills? Am I better at handling stress? Am I making smarter decisions? Reflecting on these questions can provide a sense of growth.

When I look back to myself a month ago, if I cringe then that means I've grown.
would you consider following our launch of Afforai? We made a new AI framework to improve output on these AI chatbots train on your documents, websites, etc.
I put down some notes now and then about new tasks that I have to do or new technologies I have to learn. Sometimes going through the notes again reminds me that I am constantly learning (even if on someday I couldn't do anything)
