What This Is: A 2-part output tracking system with a daily log, weekly scorecard, role-based categories, monthly review template, and a "No Output" alarm checklist. Designed to replace vanity metrics (hours, meetings) with impact metrics (deals closed, features shipped).
warningWhy You Need This
Most microteam founders are drowning in activity but starving for results. You work 50+ hours, attend endless meetings, answer hundreds of messages — and wonder why revenue is flat and nothing ships. The problem: you're tracking the wrong metrics.
This Output Scoreboard fixes that. It replaces vanity metrics (hours worked, meetings attended, emails sent) with impact metrics (deals closed, features shipped, content published). It's the dashboard that shows you — at a glance — whether you're building a business or just staying busy.

Tip 1: Make It Visible — Pin it to your Notion homepage, print it on your wall, or display it on a second monitor. What gets measured gets managed. What's visible gets optimized.
Tip 2: Color Code Everything — Green = revenue output, Yellow = brand-building, Red = low-leverage. If you're mostly red, that's your signal to delegate or automate.
Tip 3: The Ship It Friday Rule — Every Friday, produce at least 1 high-impact output before the weekend. It creates momentum that carries into Monday.
Tip 4: Batch by Output Type — Monday for revenue, Tuesday for product, Wednesday for marketing. Context-switching between output types slows you down by 2–3x.
