We all love a good progress report. Numbers, charts, that satisfying feeling of ticking boxes – they tell us we're on the right track. But what if all that measuring is, well, measuring the wrong things? Imagine you're trying to get fit. You lace up your shoes, hit the treadmill, and... focus solely on the distance you run. You might feel great about those climbing numbers, but are you actually getting stronger? Did you stretch? Maybe you weren't even running properly! Just like fitness, focusing on the wrong metrics in life and work can lead us down a path of feeling accomplished without achieving much. Here's how we fall into the "measuring the wrong things" trap: EASY WINS OVER REAL PROGRESS: Sometimes, the easiest things to measure aren't the most important. Imagine a call centre rep whose target is the number of calls handled. They might rush through calls, prioritizing quantity over quality, leaving frustrated customers in their wake.

Get hooked on growth. The feeling of satisfaction from making progress is addictive. When things aren't going your way, ask yourself, Is it time to grow?

Learning the wrong thing is equally important as learning the right things. Every wrong thing you learn can help you avoid doing that, which effectively makes you one step closer to the right thing... Be curious, keep learning.

Fuck sprint planning/analysis. Doing quantitative analysis of work in story points estimates, while expecting ownership of grooming the feature, collaborating with respective stakeholders, but being answerable to only those things that are incomplete

Startups love using data to prove their product is working. But sometimes, they bend the data just to make it look better. That’s called p-hacking—when you play with numbers until they tell the story you want. It can show up in many ways: only showi
