My accounting professor use to always say, "You get what you measure."

It didn't seem as so insightful then, but as I navigate this world, I get it.

Yes there's a similar quote I read somewhere which is now a part of my internal monologue: "You can't improve what you can't measure." So, I'm always trying to measure everything about my life and improving and optimizing things.
