What We Measure, We Improve

The things we measure are the things we improve. It is only through numbers and clear tracking that we have any idea if we are getting better or worse.

  • When I measured how many pushups I did, I got stronger.
  • When I tracked my reading habit of 20 pages per day, I read more books.
  • When I recorded my values, I began living with more integrity.

Our lives are shaped by how we choose to spend our time and energy each day. Measuring can help us spend that time in better ways, more consistently.

It's Not About the Result, It's About Awareness

The trick is to realize that counting, measuring, and tracking is not about the result. It's about the system, not the goal.Measure from a place of curiosity. Measure to discover, to find out, to understand.

Measure from a place of self-awareness. Measure to get to know yourself better.

Measure to see if you are showing up. Measure to see if you're actually spending time on the things that are important to you. (Make sure to measure backward, not forward.)

You Can't Measure Everything

There are some things in life that don't need to be measured. Some people just love working out for the sake of working out. Measuring every repetition might reduce the satisfaction and make it seem more like a job. There is nothing wrong with that. (As always, take the main idea and use it in a way that is best for you.)

Measurement won't solve everything. It is not an ultimate answer to life. However, it is a way to track something critical

The Idea in Practice

But even for things that can't be quantified, measuring can be helpful. And it doesn't have to be complicated or time-consuming.

You can't measure love, but you can track different ways that you are showing up with love in your life

You can't measure morality, but you can track if you're thinking about it:

  • Write down three values that are dear to you each morning.
  • Keep a decision journal to track which decisions you make and whether or not they align with your ethics.

The things we measure are the things we improve.

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Shankul Varada

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Even five minutes a day will improve your thinking. I've come across new ideas and learnt to improve existing ways to become more motivated, confident and happier.

Giovanna Scalzone

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.
