Being constantly busy is often times a symptom of procrastination, though people do not feel like they’re procrastinating since they are working. Being in a constant reactionary state makes you feel productive in the moment, but it prevents you from doing the really important things.
How do you recognize busy work from valuable work? How does this impact a person in general? What does this mean for practitioners and technical implementers in the analytics space specifically?
On this week’s episode of 33 Tangents Jim and Jason discuss how people get stuck in this trap and ways to get out of it.

33 Tangents - Episode #94 - Cliches & Business Speak
Friday Feb 14, 2020
Friday Feb 14, 2020
Business cliches are a dime a dozen. (see what I did there?)
Some say that phrases become cliches for a reason and they help convey deep details in a concise amount of words, but they can also be worn out so as not to have any meaning at all. While cliches can be helpful, they can also mask direct speech with a bunch of round-a-bout words.
On this week’s episode of the #33Tangents podcast, Jim and Bryant talk about some of the best & worst cliches they’ve ever heard, the cliches they over-use, and their thoughts on “business speak”.
What do you think are the worst cliches and business speak in current use?
