Single child, double stroller?

Even on the rare occasion when I am spending the day at the New York Botanical Gardens with only one of my two children, I still chose the Baby Jogger double stroller.

Why?

So glad you asked.

Our Baby Jogger City Select Lux double stroller is so versatile, robust, and high quality, that it’s still the best choice.

I simply detach the 2nd seat & corresponding mounts, and leave them at home. Then I have the extra storage space at the bottom pouch, the smooth ride (for both myself the stroller pusher and Barak the stroller pushee), and the sturdiest, most durable stroller frame ever.

I tip my hat to you Baby Jogger!

Unsurprisingly, I absolutely love this approach as it relates to my Excel work.

In a recent discussion with a prospective client, I agreed that I am probably one of the most expensive Excel consultants they will ever meet. I told them that I believe you get what you pay for, and that investing more upfront will actually save time, headache, and even money in the long run. Plus, as an added bonus, they will get to enjoy a better quality product in the meantime. They ultimately agreed, and signed on the dotted line.

As an Excel instructor, I always encourage my students to build tools that don’t just solve the current problem at hand, but also solve future problems before they ever arise.

As an Excel consultant, I always aim to build Excel tools that are versatile, robust, and stand the test of time. I accomplish this in a number of ways, including but not limited to:

  1. Organizing and structuring the data in a clear, accessible, and scalable manner.
  2. Writing formulas that are simple, easy to understand, and easy to change if necessary.
  3. Ensuring everything in the spreadsheet is as dynamic and interrelated as possible. That way, if a requirement changes, only the minimal number of cells (sometimes only a single cell) needs to be updated in order for everything to recalculate correctly.

If you would like some additional guidance on how to future-proof your current spreadsheet, leave a comment with the words “double stroller” and we’ll take it from there.
