Even better, learn a programming language like python! Can do the same things as excel but much more powerful!

i started taking ginger shots along with working out in the AM. i also listen to a news podcast (NPR) so hearing people talk minus all the extra like some podcasts and radios too is somewhat peaceful.

I use ortho home defense. Easy to find at any hardware store (lowes, home depot, menards). Stuff works really well for about 6 months to a year

Sure learn it but don't let it be your ownly tool.
Learn to program early and stop abusing the MS suite.

Greatest office tool of all time, but easy to be relied upon to heavily and become end user computing files that have a high risk input error. Then everything you have been reporting becomes inaccurate with one person's formula screw-up.
Always store a gold copy of any business important excel that is password protected and unable to be changed so that you can do regular comparisons to ensure the in use copy is the same as the gold.

Going to bed earlier so you can naturally wake up early is the only way iv ever felt great in the morning.

I learned through a lot of videos, reading tutorials, sort of knowing what I want, and trial and error. Yes, a lot of the videos are dry, but so are logic formulas. Honestly the simple ones are sometimes the best. Nobody yelling at me to “smash that subscribe button”.

Oh man you should've seen the sub two years ago. All the LPTs had a sock on them, so if you tried to take the LPT, all you would get is the sock

How's you learn? I looked up YouTube videos but they were so dry and seemed outdated

What the fuck is up with these LPT lately? I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.

Beyond just spending a few days familiarizing yourself, use Excel for as much in your daily life as you can. Budget tracking, chore charts if you have kids, whatever you can think of in or out of work. The more you use it, the more you'll see opportunities to improve your Excel skills and make life easier.

Sleep early, nothing deserves staying late for.
Wake up and get directly out of the bed before checking your phone

It covers the mattress much nicer when the bed is made too. It looks better that way.

My advice to him was dont take/lock card so cant be easily used
Take cash to the amount you want to spend and you cant go over it

Can confirm. I was dubbed "Excel Guru" at one of my jobs and held this title ever since. And it was just basic stuff most of the time.
Then again, I did build a full database for disciplinary dossiers for the National chamber of bailiffs in Belgium, even built a fancy pants search sheet in the Excel file where you got all the information on a dossier by simply typing the code of the dossier (and specifying the language in case of dossiers before 2022).
But they let me go and they had cold sweats even when Excel was being mentioned, so I don't even know if my little baby is still used by them today...

Anytime know a quality spreadsheet for mobile? So many times I've been out and about and thought I could fix this if I had a spreadsheet.
