Touching Base With My Emotional KPI's
<p>In the spirit of bringing my whole self to work, and by work, I mean life, I decided to run a performance review on my own emotional state. Welcome to the quarterly check-in I never asked for, starring: Me, as both the manager and the reluctant employee of my own soul.</p><p>‎</p><p>‎First up: my wellness department’s hydration KPI. Let’s just say the metrics are… carbonated. I run on Coke, and pure vibes. My dashboard flagged this weeks ago: “Hydration = 80% soda, 15% chaos, 5% actual water.” Not exactly the balanced intake my body’s board meeting agreed on.</p><p>‎</p><p>‎Then there’s sleep. The goal was eight solid hours; the reality was five and a half, fractured by a 2 a.m Google dive into whether pigeons feel lonely. I may not be well-rested, but I am weirdly informed about urban bird social structures.</p><p>‎</p><p>‎Social energy got its own metric. I’d aimed for meaningful connections and a balanced social battery. What happened? Four “on my way” texts sent from the comfort of my bed, and one late-night voice note from a friend that I actually listened to, all the way through. I was absent more than I was present, but when it counted, I was there.</p><p>‎</p><p>‎Then there's the creativity department. ‎It was supposed to be about  fewer abandoned drafts. But instead, my Notes app became a graveyard of ideas. I started eight pieces and finished none. The output was scattered, but the spark stayed alive.</p><p>‎</p><p>‎So here I am, touching base with my emotional KPIs. ‎Maybe in the next quarter, I’ll drink one actual glass of water or just rename my system "Carbonated Chaos" and call it a hydration strategy.</p><p><br/></p><p>‎Either way, I’ll still be here, measuring my peace in pigeons at 2 am and my connections in voice notes actually heard. The metrics might stay messy, but at least I’m checking in.</p><p>‎</p><p>‎And sometimes, showing up for your own review is the only KPI that really counts.</p><p>‎</p><p>‎</p>
