One of the troubles with attempting to be a self-driven learner is that organising everything is up to you. Being in control of how and when learning happens is great, but being told what to learn and when and being directed to the material simplifies so much! So this is what I’m lamenting after my contact Read More

Internal Company Blogs Are A Thing!?
I may not be a big talker, but I love communication. Why else would I blog? Something that comes into my mind now and then is communication at the workplace. It’s easy to just start a chat in the kitchen while making a cup of tea with anyone, which I really like. And Microsoft Teams makes Read More
Hello Trello My Old Friend
So a long time ago now, I discovered Trello and became very friendly with it. At the time I was overloaded and disorganised and something had to be done. Trello’s simple card system is like digital Post-Its on a board, and is a great start. However, I didn’t find that it suited routines particularly well. There Read More
12 Week Year
At some point over the last couple of years, I came across a book titled The 12 Week Year. I haven’t actually read the entire book unfortunately but I did learn a valuable lesson. Instead of 12 month goals, like New Year’s Resolutions, set yourself 12 week goals. 12 Week Goals vs New Year’s Resolutions With Read More
How To Be Super Productive
Sometimes when I talk about productivity, it sounds like I live and breathe to simply be productive. The header image would certainly support that and it is an example of a productive day for me.

How To Manage With Random Tasks Every Week

How Complicated Is Linear Regression Really?
For the last few months, I’ve been looking at linear regression and trying to understand what it is and why it appears so much in business analytics courses. It has something to do with mathematics and statistics, but the only word that I really understood in it was linear. I’m still not sure I understand it Read More
Lazy Analysis From Google Analytics
It seems that the more I learn about my role, the more keywords I gain and start searching for. I then stumble across more keywords and eventually find myself falling down the rabbit hole, wondering where it will end, much like Alice in Wonderland.
Machine Learning as a Service
Today and yesterday, I spent hours and hours doing repetitive work between my browser and Excel. I had a list of terms to search for and had to copy down the results I found back into the spreadsheet, with links. It was so long, I had to just stop sometimes to prevent myself going mad! The Read More
OneTab To Rule Them All
Okay, so I might be a little bit late to the game, but I have just discovered OneTab and I am so impressed and pleased that I have to mention it. I’ve been overwhelmed with browser tabs many times before, I even wrote a post about it on an old blog long ago and suggested that Read More
