What is Right Effort in the context of data analysis? Effort refers to how we use our mental energy. In our prior steps on the path, we have learned what we should be doing. Right Effort reminds us to use our energy wisely, to focus on the things that will bring us in harmony with our ideals, and to resist putting energy into things that are destructive or will undermine the character of our work.
In our daily practice, we are given many tests or challenges - such as scope creep of projects, political pressures (of many varieties), shifting deadlines and priorities. Finding ways to deal with these constructively will always be an ongoing tension. Having awareness, and acting purposefully with positive intention, will put us in a position to remain grounded and move our work forward.
