Costs and side effects of tracking

                          • Jazi Zilber


  • Twitter.com/yzilber


  Occupation: reading books
Costs :
     Finger effort.
     Making yourself do.
     Constrains on life.

Side effects:
     the traps of the yardsticks.
Measuring the first part of a deal

         My experience
The smallest cost. Moving your finger
• Typing, measuring, summing it up.

• The net effort of the very bare action of
  tracking

• Still quite a bit. But relatively cheap
DOING
• Making oneself do
• Stopping other things, in order to
  track
• Having the thing in mind all the day
Side effects
• Yardstick mistakes.

• The wrong measure
• Focus on the yardstick. (financial crisis etc.)
Constraints?

• Other changes in life disrupt tracking.

• Have you ever stopped other plans to keep
  the tracking meaningful?
