The church assistant treasurer has set up new ways to manage\nofferings such that everyone has more time to talk to each other following the\nformal service time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I recently looked through about a hundred row of data to\nidentify common and new information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A friend has come to the end of a PhD journey and worked through a lot of field data to complete the thesis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While you are in the middle of doing something, where you face a lot of information, it\u2019s difficult to see the bigger picture. See the hundreds of birds flying together, not only they don\u2019t clash to each other, they even make aerial formations. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I had the benefit of looking back to previous attempts on\nsimilar kind of data, to help understand this new set of data. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, at times, I lost the bigger picture; I wanted to \u201cread\nfurther\u201d into the data \u2013 what really happened there? No, there\u2019s no point to trace\nback to history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s quite amazing that we have the capacity to deal with a\nlot of information. Information can be \u2018layered\u2019, \u2018linear\u2019 and both. Making a\nlot of information meaningful is no mean task. Often a clear starting point is\nwhat you need. Look for particular thing in the information, ignore everything\nelse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I noticed the other day in the groocery store many customers queuing to pay their items. One customer had only very few items (some bottled drinks) but where he was, he had to wait for those in front of him with many more items to move on, before his turn came. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He wasn\u2019t complaining, very relaxed. He did leave swiftly after paying. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Relax, when you are having to deal with a lot of information. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
