The 3 Things I’m Thinking About — May 30th, 2026

Saturdays have become the day I let things breathe. The week is over, the deliverables are out, the to-do list has been beaten into submission. Whatever I did not get to has now officially become Monday’s problem. Saturday is for the questions that do not have answers yet, and the ones that maybe never will.

This week three things have been rattling around the back of my head. None of them are tactical. None of them are particularly clean. But each of them has been showing up enough that I want to write them down and see what they look like in print, because that is usually the test. Things that hold up under writing tend to be real. Things that fall apart on the page were probably never solid to begin with.

Here they are.

Thing One: I have started to notice that the quality of my decisions is more about the quality of my attention than the quality of my information.

For most of my career, I operated under the assumption that better decisions came from better data. More inputs, more research, more analysis. If I just gathered enough information, the right answer would emerge. So I gathered. I researched. I built dashboards. I read every article, every book, every framework I could get my hands on. I was a sponge, and I was proud of it.
