A new rule for myself when quantifying: have a purpose in mind before gathering data for data sake.

From doing a lot of different QS myself and talking with other people about it, I think that's a key point. You actually have to care. If you don't care about what you are measuring you are unlikely to get any return.

I always wanted more data to play with, now I have data and I have no idea what I am going to do with it. It's like I personally suffer from the "big data" problem. (which I find hilarious)
