He talked about cottage cheese, chicken breasts, greek yogurt with berries. The more he shared, the deeper he went into macros, protein goals, target calorie ranges.<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">He had developed a full and deliberate system to manage what he was eating. He had a plan to meet his health and fitness goals.<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">I\u2019m quite a bit older \u2014 and very aware of all the nutritional concepts. A hundred times I had heard the advice about grams of protein and need for more fiber.<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">But <strong><em>hearing<\/em><\/strong> it and <strong><em>absorbing<\/em><\/strong> it are different things. Maybe it was the long stretches of road. Or his passion. Or that it was coming from someone I cared about. For once, I took the time to absorb the information and it landed in a new way.<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">One of my golden rules as a parent: if my kids care about something, I should try to care too. That played a role too.<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">By the end of that drive, something had shifted, not from learning new information, but because the numbers of eating had gotten tethered to someone I love.<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">This car ride started another journey for me.<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">For a couple of decades, I\u2019ve been trying to break through to find better ways to deliver data so people engage and act on it. Reflexively, I\u2019ve taken on the perspective of the author. I help clients design better visualizations, more thoughtful dashboards, and more compelling data stories. If your audience doesn\u2019t care, there is no data product perfect enough to reach them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">Now I am trying to think about the problem from the perspective of the recipient. Which led me to this question: <strong>What makes someone care about a number?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">I cared when I took the time to pay attention because my son was explaining it. That\u2019s a special case and a hint. If we can explain when and why people care about the information they receive, it will unlock new paths to make data useful.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My son started sharing about his meals.
