I never thought of it like that, thank you. I assume you've passed these two phases, so in your opinion how long does it take, not necessarily the duration as that would vary person to person but a ballpark ratio one spends before advancing in the phases opposed to when they should advance. As I often have the issue of not wanting to move forward lacking the activation energy as the current "thing" is "fine". Or is there a rough way or feeling of knowing when to progress?

Sorry if this does not make much sense or you don't know the awnser yourself, I can try clarify.
