The truest work, on a soul level, for most people, is such efforts as pursuit of knowledge and realisation of self and truth, the effort to obtain accurate perspective, understanding of and attunement with real love, providing service to others, alleviating suffering... I expect those who’s effort is along such lines in this life will likely continue such effort in the next life phase. Most are working towards realisation of self anyway, directly and indirectly through mediums of various sorts such as relationships and interactions, circumstances and situations, dilemmas, problem solving and decisions, occupations, hobbies, interests, and observations. However which-way we are progressing/working, most of us probably keep up a related approach in the next life, unless we have a change of attitude and heart before death.

Yes, it is true that biases, beliefs, expectations, and preferences can get in the way, obstruct vision and understanding. But it doesn’t have to be that way. The truth is not out of bounds to human perception. It is possible to see things as they are, if one knows how, even if only temporarily. And if temporary, to retain the memory of what is seen, in spite of the preferences within our personality. It requires our understanding of honesty, honesty being the ability to see things as they are, and how honesty is acquired through valuing truth above all else, whatever truth may be, and our obtaining of honesty to a certain degree, along with the ability to some extent to recognise our own personal preferences and how they obstruct vision and understanding, so that we can set them aside and clear our vision and make our self receptive to truth. Even then it cannot be done very well on our own, but only through coordination with our oversoul (disk?), or by prayer. But seeing things as they are can certainly be done. Truth is accessible.
