365 Days of Python: Day #16 — Optimal Organization

In my opinion, being organized is as important at being productive. In fact, the two usually go hand-in-hand.

Throughout my life, I have always made organization a priority. Without organization, my world would be chaotic. Could I hypothetically function without organization? Yes, but my productivity would exponentially decline.

Organization is not just applicable to the physical world. It is also applicable to the world of data. Not only is it applicable, it is crucial.

How could you ever perform data analysis if the data you are analyzing looks like a jumbled mess of numbers?

Day #16 (11/30/2022)

“For every minute spent in organizing, an hour is earned.”

Closing Thoughts

To me, it is extremely satisfying to be able to look at a large set of data and find its ebbs and flows.

That is why the past couple of days have been so enjoyable for me. I have been learning new methods for reading, sorting, and eventually analyzing data seemingly without any limit (in terms of how much data can be processed).

With that, I encourage all of you to never stop learning. You might even end up learning more about yourself than whatever you are trying to learn.
