Measure success less by what you can buy and more by how little you have to fake.

One measure of a decent life is how much of your day you get to spend as yourself. Jobs, friendships and rooms that require constant performance take a toll that never shows up as a number, while being able to speak plainly to people is quietly what makes a life comfortable. Spending power is easy to count and a poor indicator. How much pretending is required is a better one.

Go through your week and notice where you are performing hardest. One class, one group, one shift. See whether any of it can be reduced.
