Over the past few weeks, I have noticed how much has changed in WordPress since I initially started. The most embarrassing thought is that I didn’t really keep up. Shame on me!
No longer! For the next 3 months, I’ll learn for 20 minutes a day to become better at it and master all the ins and outs of this powerful tool. After all, it will save me time in the long run. I’m certain it will also reduce my stress levels when I need get something done within a short period of time and I just don’t know how to go about it.
I wonder what other tools I’m using like am amateur?
Possibly that’s where I should start: a gap analysis. I need to find out which tools I use regularly and how well I use them. Once I have a better overview where I can save time, I will be in a better situation to compare where to spend my time learning and improving.
Which areas in life or which tools would you like to improve upon? Data analytics tools to get through the regular reports at work faster? Finding the movie for tonight quicker? Using the new multi function pressure cooker?
Whatever it is, there is plenty of evidence that mastery of tools you use every day will pay off. It’s not only the time and stress saved but also the positive that comes from knowing you have control over your tools and with that you have control over your life. How does that sound to you? Having full control over your life. That would be great.
So I will start with small actions towards learning how to use WordPress and over the weekend I’ll be doing a skills audit. By end of this year, I’d like to have closed all the gaping holes that there may be (read: that there will be) so I can start next year in a better place.
