Tools
and
brandishing... I
knew
that
Excel
would
give
me
precision,
but....I
knew
that
ultimately
I
would
want
to
have
some
visual
control
over
HOW
the
data
was
visualized

Scrub
your
data In
PPT
I
created
10
blocks
(1
years
to
10
years)
using
the
dimensions
I
had
earlier
established.I
also
knew
that
I
would
color-code
each
block
by
type
of
work

Freudian by
Freudian,
you’re
trying
to
find
some
meaning

years,
accuracy,

Edit
thyself I
knew
that
there
were
some
inaccuracies,
but
I
was
limited
by
what
I
asked
for.I
also
resisted
the
urge
to
fiddle
more
than
I
needed
toI
was
looking
for
patterns
in
work
activities:
linear
vs.
overlapping,

from
one
