Including efficiency metrics in your overall strategy encourages your team to consider resource allocation and optimize performance.

Key results must be quantifiable; for instance, instead of saying 'make Gmail better,' specify measurable improvements like reducing response time by 30%.

To ensure you're prioritizing the right tasks, keep a detailed journal of your daily activities, noting the impact of each task on your primary KPI. This will help you identify low-value work that may be creeping into your schedule.

Your role involves simplifying tasks for your team, ensuring they can understand and execute their responsibilities without being overwhelmed by complexity.

When grading tasks, use a simple system of high, medium, and low impact based on their likelihood of helping you meet your weekly goals for your primary KPI. This helps clarify which tasks are worth pursuing. The most impactful action I can take is to visit the offices of ten potential customers who were introduced to me by friends, as I have a strong chance of convincing them to buy my product.

Measuring the effectiveness of content is challenging, and it's crucial to tie measurements to specific goals and strategies.

Agree on the definitions of your key metrics with your team to avoid internal disagreements that can hinder productivity.

It's essential to periodically step back and evaluate whether your metrics are guiding you toward your product goals or just reinforcing past assumptions.

Track a key performance indicator (KPI) that reflects your company's success; for most, this should be revenue or user engagement.
