Championship
To stay healthy, it is recommended to exercise regularly. This can be as simple as taking a walk after lunch or taking the stairs instead of the elevator. One of the benefits of exercise is that it burns more calories than being sedentary. However, some exercises burn more calories than others.
For a regular person, not a high-level athlete, an hour-long run at 10 mph (16 km/h) is simply not feasible. But an hour at 5 mph (8 km/h)? That’s doable for many people (okay, maybe not for me…). The problem is that many people just don’t make time for it. Or they think it’s boring.
And to be fair, some activities are more exciting than others. Not only to do them yourself, but also to watch them. Doing or watching can be very different experiences. Going around a 9 or 18-hole golf course, hitting a ball every couple of meters (in my case: very often), can be relaxing and yet is an exercise where you walk several kilometers in a couple of hours. Yet, some people can’t bear watching a golf tournament, as it takes so long between each shot.
Other sports that are found boring to watch include bowling, fencing, rowing, and Formula 1 racing. The latter mainly because of the dominance of certain teams or drivers. Note that I took this from a forum, and thus it in no way reflects any scientific research. Personally, I’m not very interested in watching any sport, but I’d rather go out and ride my bike or smack a ball on the tennis or padel court.
From boring sports to Excel spreadsheets is a small step. Did you know that there is an Excel World Championship? Participants must solve case studies using their Excel knowledge and experience. The case studies are one to five pages long, with multiple-choice or fill-in questions at the end, and they can be financial, business, or data modeling based. Points are earned for solving the questions and the time it takes to solve them.
This may be a great opportunity for us, VAT professionals. Although there are many tools available, most VAT compliance is still done with the help of Excel. Technical developments and the use of AI are great, but if you, as a VAT professional, do not know your way around Excel, you have a problem. So, which one of you can we send to the Excel World Championship in Las Vegas this year?
If you have any comments, questions, or ideas that you want to share with us, please send us an email at [email protected] or leave a comment under the posts of this newsletter on LinkedIn.
