Peter Drucker, the legendary management consultant, wasn't talking about money; but he might as well have been. When you measure something, you give it attention. Attention creates awareness. Awareness creates action. If you are not measuring your spending, savings rate, or debt balance, you are essentially driving a car with a blindfold on. The act of writing down a number (even a bad one) takes away its power. Suddenly, a MWK 1,000,000 debt becomes a MWK500,000/month problem. A 2% savings rate becomes a target to hit 5%. Measurement turns vague anxiety into specific solutions.
