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.

Burnout isn’t about working too much. It’s about: Doing the wrong work Lying to yourself about progress Chasing people you don’t even like Pretending you’re fine Ignoring your wins Work on that, not just your workload.

Building startups 💡 isn’t easy if you limit yourself to people who aren’t ambitious or just repeat things like a parrot! You need to connect with the right people—only then you will get the feeling of, “Yes, it’s possible.” That’s what matters!
