Keep A Simple Scoreboard
- Keep a scoreboard for any skill you want to improve because measurement drives improvement.
- Track specific behaviors (e.g., uninterrupted focus minutes) to expose wasted effort and gamify progress.
Score Days And Tasks Specifically
- Reverse-engineer a successful day by listing 4–5 elements that define it, then rate each daily.
- For tasks, break success into specific components and score each to get immediate feedback.
Measure The Quality Of Insights
- You can quantify qualitative things like insight by defining attributes (research-based, actionable, surprising).
- Scoring these attributes trains you to produce higher-quality insights over time.
