As well as our music and podcast apps tell us what we listen* to, I’m here to tell you what you’ve been reading.

The fifth most popular post this year from me was about how you shouldn’t be reading learning and development blogs. That worked didn’t it?

The fourth most popular was where I spotted someone I know professionally was using LLM to create their blog posts for them and not referencing the fact they were crafted using AI. They’re still doing it by the way.

The third most popular post was where I asked people to stop writing banal and simplistic articles. Like silly lists. Like this.

The second most popular post I wrote was a moan about lacklustre writing. Is anyone sensing a theme here?

And the most popular post, by a country mile, was a real surprise to me. Two years after lockdown, I said this:

We might be post lockdown but we are still, in many cases, peri hybrid. The norms of work are pliant and fluid. They can be influenced but not set.

Realisation

As we reach the end of 2023 and move into 2024, it would be sensible to keep an eye on this and see how fluid our workplaces – and our learning – are in the New Year.

*The most listened to podcast episode of The Women Talking About Learning podcast was ‘The Human One’ and I am very pleased with the thought of that.
