Focus On The Why

Reading time:  39 secs

Ever have a tweet stick with you after 24 hours? That is what happened to me last night after reading a tweet from Dr. Brandeis Marshall (@csdoctorsister). The writer summarized the critical question one should focus on when doing a data project or any project. Why are you doing the project? Why are you investing your time?



I realized when I read her tweet I was doing this already. For example, with each viz challenge I do, I create a text file containing the goal for the project. Upon completing the viz, I write up the blog post; I compare my reason for doing the final result. I do this for all projects, big or minor projects. Dr. Marshall tweet made me realize the importance of not only for me to know why I am working on a project, I really do need to share that information. It is given me motivation to keep up writing my summaries, even I may be the only one reading them for now. Thank you Dr. Marshall for the extra motivation!

This one tweet by Dr. Brandeis Marshall (@csdoctorsister) provides the road map to a successful project. Why are you doing the project, then what did you do, and how did you do it. Since this is such a valuable lesson, I turned the quote into a Twitter and Instagram image post.

What do you think? Let me know on Twitter @YvonFitz.
