So what is your [[Personal growth/Goal|loss function for life]]? Do you optimize for body fat, number of zeros in your bank account, number of hugs on a daily basis, or maybe beers per day? In a more buzzword-bullshit-[[Business 🔨]]-friendly way, what are your "KPIs"? ## Tracking your loss function [[Via Negativa|Less is more]] obviously. ### [[Mind]] - Ratio of notes tagged #scientific over #metaphysical - ~~Number of books read in the year~~ - Number of links in my PKM - ~~Positive feedback from humans on my outputs~~ ### [[Philosophy/Humans/Love|Love]] - Number of hugs (for people with [[Love language|love language]] physical touch) - Quality of time ? how to track? - Ratio of [[Big Talks]] vs [[Small talk]]s ### [[Health]] - ouraring.com (sleep) - body fat - muscles - [[Longevity & Grip strength|Grip strength]] ### [[Impact]] - personal value (because when you have impact, it increase your personal value) - eventually number of zeros in your bank account - but richest people have more shares / [[Status game|status]] value
