I set 3 key todos/outcomes for each day. When they're done, my day is "good."

Man, I used to think this way but was convinced it's not. What happens when you can't tick the boxes? It was a "bad" day?
Yeah. This is why I use quotes. At some point, our own subjectivity has to kick in.
In my experience, the weight of not ticking those boxes causes me to think more about which items should go on the next day's list.
