Calm Metrics

What you measure is what you multiply.

🧠 ONE Smart Idea

Every metric tells your nervous system a story.
Most founder dashboards are shouting:

• “Do more.”

• “Faster.”

• “Why aren’t we hitting goals?”

But peace has its own KPIs.

If you only track money and speed,
you’ll build a business that bleeds both.

📖 Story Spark

A founder came to me with 5 dashboards.
Revenue was up. Team was humming. Burnout? Sky-high.

Their actual metrics?

• 0 hours alone per week

• 17 meetings every 7 days

• Inbox zero anxiety hitting by 10am daily

We didn’t change the business.
We changed the scoreboard.

Three new metrics. Two months later:
Better sleep. More clarity. More time for vision.
And ironically? Revenue rose.

⚙️ Tactical Application:

Track What Creates Peace

The Freedom Index
Weekly score (0–10) answering:
“How free did I feel this week?”

Break it down:

• Time spent in vision vs. tasks

• Time without tech

• Time without being needed

If you score under 6 for 2 weeks in a row—pause growth. Fix freedom.

The Calm Conversion Rate
For every system or tool adopted, measure:
Does this add clarity per click, or friction per feature?

Track how many touchpoints are required to:

• Make a decision

• Approve a deliverable

• Get a team to clarity

Fewer steps = more calm.

The Anxiety Audit Ratio
Every Friday, list top 3 “open loops” in your head.
Ask:

• Is this urgent or just loud?

• Can this be designed away?

• Does this need to live on my plate?

Over time, fewer loops = higher leverage.
