Stop procrastinating : It don’t have to be PERFECT

4 main highlight in 2021

• Job Search : June 2020 — March 2021
• Quitting my job : April 2021
• Starting a new job : May 2021
• Moving into a new house : September 2020 — September 2021

The chart above highlights my major life event in 2021 thus the lack of writing here. If I’m being honest with myself, the main reason is I got complacent with life and just stop working on things.

Usually, I’ll write a few ideas on point forms but never really spend time to organize the thought and procrastination will seep into my head, telling me, “ make it perfect first”. That usually didn’t happen thus end up not executing anything :(

2022: “Let publishing this and get it out there”

“just do it”

“There isn’t a need to be perfect”

2022 goal on Medium is to continue sharing practical ways of using Excel, PowerQuery, PowerBI and expand on exploring a career path toward data analytics/scientist.

For the next few post, I will be sharing how I get to my current career path as an Analytics Product Owner and Lead Data Scientist. My next post will be on my job search process from 2020 — to 2021.

Is a good topic to visit, seeing so many headlines recently about “The great resignation” . This could be useful for anyone out there looking for a next career move.

• Why I decided to leave my current role (back then), with amazing colleagues, working culture, and comfort zone

• Why do I reject some big names, job titles and how I evaluated my options
• Why I took up my current offer and what it means to me and my career
