Episode 3304:

Leo Babauta challenges the pervasive culture of measuring and tracking every aspect of life, arguing that it often leads to unnecessary stress and a narrow focus on improvement at the expense of joy and relationships.

Quotes to ponder:

"Do for the love of doing, for the love of others. That’s unmeasurable, and profoundly life changing."

"When you track a metric, you are saying that’s more important than all the things that can’t be measured."

"It creates a mindset that we must always improve, always measure, always manage things, what about learning to be happy with yourself?"
