Personally, I've never been a fan of "the measured life."
Pro athletes and ultra-high performers use these types of metrics to maximize their "potential," but it seems to come at the cost of burnout, injury, and things like mental health and family issues.
I get a pretty significant amount of stuff done, and pretty well, but I could care less about measuring it.
I don't compete with anyone; especially with myself.
When crunch time comes, I roll up my sleeves, and get downright obsessive, but I also do things like take "side trip projects" (for example, breaking out UI widgets into open-source packages).
I get done what needs doing. I learn a lot, and I keep myself relatively healthy.
Almost all pro/ultra high performers end up with broken bodies. Constantly pushing your body to the limit is not healthy. Being fit is not the same as being healthy. I highly recommend reading “Body by Science”. It’s a bit of an eye opener.
