​I have been wanting to focus on building my technical skills for awhile now. I go in fits and starts but I know that I need to be consistent so I can can capitalize on my learnings. My challenge is the limited time I have given my work status, mom status, & my fitness which is just as, if not more, important to me. So, I'm developing a plan with the help of a few friends to help me stay on track.

The Plan

To balance my life, I'm planning to spend three-five hours per week on data viz. it's not a lot compared to what others might spend, but I think it's realistic for me (and that's important).

Review training available such as
  • Ryan Sleeper's Tableau 201
  • Review the Qualified Associates test materials
  • www.learntableau.com
  • Finish reading Ben Jones's Communicating Data with Tableau
  • Read Andy Kirk's book, Data Visualization: A Handbook for Data Driven Design

Practical Application
  • Weekly viz, typically focusing on a certain training aspect
  • Monthly viz

Document Learning

Each week, I'll recap my notes in a basic blogpost which will range from good reminders I want to remember to new concepts I've learned.

While this is my personal study notebook, I hope others might also find it useful!

Now, time to hit the books!
