One problem I recently noticed was that I was feeling down staring at all the metrics related to my projects.

I'd obsessively look at my downloads, conversions, page views and what have you.

This in no way was helping my work, but it was bringing me down because I was comparing with all the people who had "made it" already. Couple days I decided to stop that. For all those moments I'd rather read a book or play with the kids or listen to the wife. Feeling a bit better already to be honest, and interestingly somehow... free.
