You should, it is hilarious. Do you know the story of Punxsutawney Phil? Phil is a groundhog. According to the tale, if a groundhog comes out from its burrow on Groundhog Day and doesn’t see it’s shadow, then spring will come early. If the groundhog sees its shadow then the winter weather will continue for six more weeks. I always groan when I hear that Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow…because folks in Wisconsin don’t need six more weeks of winter. Then I looked at the data. Phil is correct only 39% of the time! This is worse than a coin flip, worse than the Farmer’s Almanac, and worse than your local TV meteorologist.


 

In the important areas of your life and work, what are you using to forecast the future, make predictions, and help you decide? Do you think the opportunities will be better or worse in 3 months? How do you forecast this? Is it using something like a groundhog or do you use actual data? Assess the results of your predictions. Is it even possible to predict for some areas of your life? Or, is there information available that you can use to build a rubric to help you make decisions. Phil was only right 39% of the time. May have well been flipping a coin.
