Write a personal success statement from first principles, not borrowed metrics

Borrowed success metrics (ARR, follower count, exit size) drift you into someone else's game. Replace them with a 5-7 bullet success statement listing what your day actually looks like: how you dress, how you spend mornings, who you work with, what you do daily, what you refuse to do. Khe's includes "surf every day" and "never feel rushed." Audit every commitment against the statement — anything that conflicts gets cut.
