Really enjoyed reading this post, Sam. Appreciate the vulnerability and candor.

The bit about tracking personal metrics was like you were talking about me. While I do enjoy the process of tracking them, I also feel the challenge of actually putting them to good use.

Which brings up the question: what was the purpose in tracking them to begin with?

Looking forward to future posts!

I think the pattern of caring about personal metrics served a really important role for a long time in my life. When I first started doing it I think they brought a ton of value -- and just because they aren't seeming to do that any longer doesn't mean I/you were wrong for doing it at all. I'm learning to become more okay with the idea that patterns can fade in and out based on what I need at the time.
