Measurements

Apr 10, 2025

My youngest doesn't know her letters as well as her sister did at her age.

I didn't eat scrambled eggs till my 30s because I decided they were gross without ever trying them.

My partner will almost certainly never consistently remember where his keys are.

I’m realizing that the metrics I choose define the success I see. And, the world keeps spinning regardless of which ones I pick.

What hangups can we let go of today so we can focus on what actually matters?

What would change if we measured differently?

I wrote the six sentences above in my journal back in February. And this week they are hitting home even more.

I formally launched the Rule Breaker website this week (rulebreaker.co - check it out!! 🥳)

I’ve easily written over 1,000,000 words these past five years to get to the ~1,000 on the site.

That feels slow. Almost glacial. Especially compared to AI-powered-get-your-site-live-in-6.34-minutes kind of progress.

And - I am reminding myself that my yard stick isn’t the yard stick of the hustle-tastic entrepreneurs out there.

I’m grateful for you coming along with me to this point and for all that will come.

Sending enoughness,

Jess
