Getting Ready For A New Year:

It always seems like the end of the year is a good time to think over how the year went, as well as plan for the year ahead.

It’s also a great time to get organize, which is something I really needed to do as my office and studio was getting pretty cluttered.

So for the last couple of days I’ve been cleaning the place up, and I thought I’d share with you what the Studio currently looks like:

Above you can see a partial panoramic of Studio A where I mostly film lessons for my courses at http://www.TheAutomationSchool.com.

And below you can see a partial panoramic of Studio B (the other half of the room) where I have been filming most of the episodes for The Automation Show:

And for a complete view, below are both full panoramics stitched together:

Note: You might find it interesting to compare these pictures to the ones I took when I renovated the studio back in 2018:

Now that my Studio (and office) has been completed cleaned up, I’m feeling pretty good about taking a few days off to spend with my wife and adult kids knowing that I’ll be able to come back ready for the new year 😀

If we don’t get to talk before then, let me wish you a very Happy Holidays, and a Safe and Prosperous New Year!

Until next time, Peace ✌️
