What gets measured, gets managed

I don’t remember when I’ve first heard or read the words: “What gets measured, gets managed”. I thought it was something Ray Dalio said, but I just checked, and it seems the words are attributed to Peter Drucker (I don’t know who that is). Nevertheless — I like the principle.

I just checked how many designs I made this year — 21! I only made 21 designs, and there have already been 19 weeks this year. That means I barely made one design a week. That’s a lot less than I thought. I am not as productive as I want to be.

Can your output be measured?
