The truth is that more stuff does not make your house and life better,
and more data does not make you smarter or provide more meaningful
insights. Most marketers waste a lot energy collecting data that is not
usable and would greatly benefit from a new Small Data strategy. It's
about efficient effort for maximum effect. Unless you have an army of
Google statisticians at your disposal, why collect metrics that provide
no real insight?
As a hoarder, you have the same problem every hoarder has—whether you
are hoarding trash you collected from a dumpster or stockpiling metrics.
You don't know how to say, "Enough already." What is the first thing
professional organizers do in dealing with hoarders? They take
assessment of the situation, create a plan of attack and begin throwing
stuff out. You need to do the same.
Start backwards. Decide where you want to go before you even begin. A
learning agenda is a great way to start—meaning, align your objectives
with learning questions. Accept that there are always priorities when it
comes to objectives, and if that list of "what's important" includes
everything and the kitchen sink, you are setting yourself up for
failure.
