Creativity vs. Consumption

If there's one metric to watch for managing your happiness level, it's Creativity vs Consumption.

If you feel completely empty and like nothing matters, ask yourself how much time you have spent watching what other people are doing or watching shortform video or YouTube or TV.

And compare that to how much time you have spent building something, or improving the life of someone else.

It's not the only metric that matters, but I would argue it's the biggest one.
