I've found the metric reduces the brain-relaxation benefit of going for a walk. Over lockdown, I adopted the habit of physically wandering randomly around neighbourhoods and parks. I used to do this in the woods behind my house as a kid, so I figured it might help with my mental health. Lo and behold: my tendency to wander on wikipedia or TVtropes decreased dramatically. A key to this is for me to be unconcerned with path, duration, or outcome. So I don't think about the 10k.
