I helped someone out with a project recently. Partway through I regretted volunteering, as it was super tedious. Realizing someone else had probably already figured a smarter way to do to, I found Power Query. Power Query is amazing.

Power Query can automate so much of the grunt work out of your day. I’ve been taking an online class and have been looking for ways to use and practice it.

My current project is using a spreadsheet or organizing my shopping trip. With my ongoing diet (and overall lack of time) my standard lunch/dinner is

• green salad,
• vegetable 1,
• vegetable 2,
• protein.

I’ve set up an Excel document to help speed up the organizing, purchasing, prepping, and cooking process. Each day I look at it and tweak it to try to make it a little better. As I go I’ll post some of the stuff that I am finding useful.
