**Track Your Returns**: One of the simplest ways is to keep an eye on your overall returns. You can calculate your annualized return by looking at the percentage change in your investment’s value over a specific period.

**Benchmarking**: Compare your investments to a relevant benchmark, like a stock index or a mutual fund that matches your investment strategy. If your returns are consistently below the benchmark, it might be time to reevaluate your strategy or the specific investments you’re holding.
