As the year draws to a close, I’d like to take the opportunity to reflect on what I’ve learnt in 2016. Towards the start of this year, I started this blog as a tool to simply store information on topics I’d learnt so that I could revisit them when needed. I then had a revelation that this information would not only be useful to me, but to others in my field: so I began sharing it!

I integrated Google Analytics and thicmds has allowed me to track how the blog has grown from a couple hundred sessions a month to over two thousand and has been slowly rising!

The spike has been due to the increased volume of blog posts, after setting myself a challenge to write a post a week since around June/July.

So what have I learnt and what could you learn from my posts? And what will I be doing with the blog next year?

What’s Next

I will continue to issue my newsletter in the new year so please sign up using the form at the top or bottom of this page.

I will also look to introduce new types of content to the blog. Don’t worry, the technical big data and data science posts will still exists however I will look to bring in posts on other topics such as process and behaviour improvement and the tools and techniques I use to improve how I live and work.

Thanks for a great year and I hope to see you all back here in 2017!
