A Single Intervention Can Change Your Life

Posted on 25th September 201925th September 2019 by Iain Saunders
Posted In Personal

A single mindset intervention can change your life. That’s the message I’m getting right at the beginning of the book, The Upside Of Stress, and it’s pretty exciting. Over the years I have frequently made efforts to improve my mindset. The most successful of these have been when I developed a more favourable mindset from books Read More

Wanna Be SuperBetter?

While I was waiting for The Upside Of Stress to be dispatched, I decided to go on a little journey. First I read a sample of the book on my Kindle. Then I watched a TedX video from the author. Then I got sucked into TedX and started watching recommended videos before ending up watching a Read More

Be My Guest, Be My Guest

I’ve decided to quote Beauty & The Beast today for a very simple reason; I’ve added a guestbook. In school I built myself a website, just for fun, and copying a schoolmate I added a guestbook. It didn’t get a lot of entries, but it was an interesting way for visitors to connect with me outside Read More

Better Life Because Of Stress?

I have a very receptive mind to new ideas, even ones that challenge beliefs I’ve held for years. I can consider the validity of someone’s point even if it is in complete opposition to my own. So imagine my curiosity after I’d begun reading a book on anxiety when it told me that stress can be Read More

Last Day Of Freedom Coming Up!

It’s easy to lament the last day before going back to work when you’ve had some time off. I’m doing it right now. Why can’t it last longer? Well, thinking back, it’s been enough time. I’ve read three fiction books. I’ve played through two games in the Spyro trilogy. I’ve read a whole lot of stuff Read More

Starting A Degree While Working Full Time Is Scary!

Posted In Personal

Okay, truth time. I’ve been writing about how exciting it is to start a degree, especially in Data Science. I missed the chance to do a degree when I was younger, so having the opportunity now is amazing. I absolutely have no regret about taking on this challenge. On the other hand, it’s scary. I’ve been Read More

New Look, Better Site?

This week is my week off work and I’ve been gaming, reading and studying. Then today I spent many hours completely revamping this site. New buttons, new menus, new links and a new page, all for you dear readers! I felt like the site just wasn’t as simple as I wanted it to be, images and Read More

Very Late Spring Cleaning

Today I’ve been preparing for my Data Science degree. Setting up my calendar, preparing for next steps, downloading the bits I need. And then I remembered I wanted to make some small changes on my website, and so I’ve just put some through (which you may notice if you’ve visited lately). Basically, some time ago I Read More

Data Science Degree Day One: Follow Up

Posted In Personal

My first day with the University was scary in the beginning (see here), but ended up being fun. It felt a little disorganised and part of that is because it is one of the first Data Science Apprenticeships available. I’m sure many more will follow, but for now we’re pioneers. After we went through some of Read More

Data Science Degree Day One

Posted on 12th September 201912th September 2019 by Iain Saunders
Posted In Personal

Today is my first induction day and marks the beginning of my Data Science degree. Although I’ve been excited, I am also incredibly nervous. Yesterday I was very sombre and last night I was tossing and turning in bed. I’m on my way to the London campus now by train and left extra early, so I Read More
