The Thing I Did Every Day for a Year That Changed Nothing

I checked my metrics every morning. Every single day. Signups, revenue, churn, all of it.

At the end of the year I looked back and realized the daily check had changed exactly one decision. One. The other 364 days it just made me anxious and gave me something to react to before I had done any real work.

I stopped checking daily. Now I look once a week, with a question in mind. The numbers are the same. My head is quieter.

I had confused watching with managing. They are not the same thing.

What are you checking daily that would be better checked weekly?
