If you don’t get your work done in a week… we can’t add the eighth or ninth day… all we can do is try again the next week, starting again on Sunday or Monday (in my case, the week always begins anew on a Thursday).

I like to think that it’s completely up to you, you are in complete control of what comes next and where you go from here. You might not have chosen how you got here or what you did, but now that you are – what comes next is entirely up to you. You can complain about it, or do something about it.
I know bunts and singles are good. I know they make sense from a numbers perspective. But whenever I played baseball, I always had to swing for the fences at least once a game. Sometimes you just have to evaluate the right pitch, speed, and velocity, give it your all – and swing for the fences.
Two things happen when you reach your peak. You take a moment, appreciate all the time you put in to get there, and put in some more work, maybe not pushing as hard, but still moving forward. You realize you haven’t peaked, you have much further to go and you start working towards that.
Data without Context is just that Data. The context of anything happening is what makes the data relevant. When you have context you have an understanding of your data, you know where it came from, where it originated from, and maybe where it’s going. Without context, all you have is data and that’s a dangerous thing to make decisions on.
