So our first step in improving our outcomes is to train ourselves to identify the moments when judgment is called for in the first place, and pause to create space to think clearly. This training takes a lot of time and effort, because it involves counterbalancing our hardwired biological defaults evolved over many centuries. But mastery over the ordinary moments that make the future easier or harder is not only possible, it’s the critical ingredient to success and achieving your long-term goals.

“The data is there to help you have a *conversation* - see discrepancies and surprises, help validate assumptions, debate interpretations. You must never lose sight of the qualitative vision and user empathy - the data is there to augment it, not replace it. That's why you use data to inform your decisions, not drive them.” - comment from [Assaph Mehr](https://www.linkedin.com/in/assaph/) on a post I did on this topic.
