Hello, and a happy 2023 to you. I hope it’s gone well thus far, and I wish you well for the year ahead.
I’ve had a nice long break. I’m feeling good as a result. So good, in fact, that I’m starting to have ideas :) and they’re making me feel like I want to get stuck in. And so here I am on the last Friday of my holiday finding it impossible to resist sitting in my office writing to you.
Thanks to Nikki and Guy for their comments on the last post of 2022 - The different kinds of learning.
I really enjoyed writing that post, and one idea I’ve had is that it’ll be interesting to flesh out that list of the different kinds of learning. I will work my way through them, about one every month. These long reads will be for paid subscribers only.
That point Guy raises about ways to sort them is interesting too. Expect me to play around with that a bit. Thanks for the nudge Guy - when you’re next in town a bottle of wine is on me ;)
And I wonder if, in light of today’s news that Exxon knew in the 1970s what selling their product would do to the planet but they lied about it and did it anyway, any oil company execs are experiencing Nikki’s wow-I’m-an-asshole learning? …
Are there any kinds of learning that aren’t on the list that you’d like me to dive into?
Lastly, this year I’m going to try and send out a short post on learning each day - big challenge! (This is kind of a return of the smata-note I used to send out when I first started this thing.)
See you tomorrow!
Bevan.
