It’s really time we think about performance managing our lives.  How come you don’t have a series of metrics by which you can decide whether or not you’re fulfilled?

For example, I have established key performance indicators in several areas, and here is my 9-week summary:

In the last 9 weeks, I have:

- Completed 40 workouts (-5 from my goal, -86 from the only goal I believe you’ve set for yourself)

- Called my parents 7 times (-2 from goal)

- Visited my parents, my sister, and your brother and sister-in-law each 1 time (+1 from any madman’s reasonable goal)

- Read 4 books (-5 from any self-respecting man’s goal)

If you’d just take a weekend course with me on how to build Gantt charts and apply performance management strategies to our lives, we could build out this framework to more categories.  Notably, we are missing opportunities for appreciation of the arts (which I prefer to do quickly, you remember) and any efficiencies related to garbage night.
