In 23 work days, earning $56,000 is just $2434 per day; Stretched to the US Average 229 work days, that would be $557k. (There are of course diminishing returns). Anyway, moving along: I’m going to track personal metrics in two categories: Daily Checklist Items Positive numbers Activity Numbers Checklist items are stuff like “morning [...]

OK, more is coming, but I’ve built the v 1.0 of the spreadsheet that I want to use. More or less a personal dashboard.
