High performance is the consistent execution of a process. A process is done daily. It is entirely internal, meaning we dictate the result. It is objective. Did I complete my priority today? If yes, good. Shake hands and see it tomorrow. If not, analyze why. Know half the battle is showing up. Place one foot in front of the other. Nothing more. Nothing less.
Progress is the sum of a process. Like a compass, it provides direction. View it periodically over long periods. Monthly. Maybe weekly. Definitely not daily. The more long-term, the more objective. The more acute, the more fluctuations. Did we hit our mark? If yes, continue ahead. If not, assess and readjust.
Our measurement of improvement in the short-term is best by asking did I complete my process? Deliver on the quantity. Consistent execution of a process will deliver on the progress.
