Time Horizons

There are copious amounts of data all around us. The hard part is deciding what is important and what should be discarded.  Once you’ve chosen what data is vital for your next move it’s worth pausing. Pausing to evaluate the time horizon.

Being decisive is a good thing because it shortens the feedback loop to learn.  It’s vital to not confuse impatience with decisiveness.  Taking a deep breath and thinking about the data source and it’s timeline will help you make better decisions.  

Pre-deciding the evaluation date to pull the plug or double down will keep you from reacting prematurely.
