Another year over...

And so, 2024 has come to an end. As many people do this time of year, I'm reviewing the past 12 months and thinking hard about the future. In particular I'm reviewing how effective the changes I have made have been and what I can learn from them. During that time I switched from publishing monthly articles to publishing weekly ones. I hope that all my readers have benefited from that over the last year.

To that end this article is aimed to highlight some of my posts from the past year, to remind people of what they might have read before, to realise how wide ranging some of them are and encourage others to pick over these and find some wisdom in it for themselves.

Some of these articles are before this last year, but I feel will be useful as this is my first review of this type.
