Seth Godin has a posting on his blog that expresses the tedium that comes from attempting to benchmark various aspects of our lives. In theory, benchmarking is a means to an end of constant improvement; in reality it often becomes more problematic than helpful.
I've long held the belief that, "The road to Hell is paved . . . with comparisons". Substitute the word benchmarks for comparisons and the statement's just as valid.
Way to go, Seth! Good one. Thank you.
