Spent first full day with a client's project team working with Scrum and Lean methodologies. Seem to be some good ideas for tracking ideas through, maintaining drive and keeping strong communication with other teams.
This site (which I have not yet studied in detail) seems to have outlines of the principles with some video training materials.

I'm Giving Away My Bitcoin. You Should Too. | LinkedIn

How to Sync Google and Outlook Calendars: alternatives to the defunct Google sync utility - PC Advisor
How to Sync Google and Outlook Calendars: alternatives to the defunct Google sync utility - PC Advisor:
This is a really useful article if you or your family have some users using Outlook and others using Google calendar. The top part of the article covers how to avoid the problem (mainly by sticking to one or the other). At the bottom of the article is a suggestion of some free software that sorts the problem out.
Do note though the limitation: this works well for synchronising one Google calendar with Outlook. It does not seem to work so well where you may have a situation with multiple Google calendars that you may wish to synchronise into Outlook.

Excel name box tips
Handy tips from the LinkedIn group 'Excel Gurus'. Ever been at the bottom of a long spreadsheet, scrolled up to read the title but lost the column before you got to the top? Typing c in the name box will select the whole column containing the active cell.

Caffeine: The Silent Killer of Success
Caffeine: The Silent Killer of Success:
Especially interesting is that caffeine has a half life of 6 hours - so your lunch time coffee is 25% still active after 12 hours.
Further facts from Wikipedia:
1 Decaffeinated drinks contain typically 1–2% of the original caffeine content, and sometimes as much as 20%.
2 A generally accepted statistic is that a cup of normal black (often called red in China; as distinct from green) tea contains 40–50 mg of caffeine, roughly half the content of a cup of coffee.
