Traditional metrics for progress, such as salary, assets, promotions, and certifications, offer a way to assess the progress we have made in life, but they don't guarantee continual or perpetual progress. To achieve perpetual progress, we must have metrics to measure our progress and a system that allows us to seek new goals, reflect, and evaluate our progression regularly. This system should include awareness training, goal management, and effective self-reflection. Awareness training provides the necessary insight to choose effective goals and strategies. Goal management ensures that each goal is relevant and effectively managed to maximize benefits. Self-reflection underpins all work and ensures that the task remains relevant and worthwhile, while putting us in control of everything we do.
