A good daily routine starts with a good impulse. After having a basic clarity of personal goals, we need to fine-tune those ones in the frame of the coming day. Still, there are many things that we can’t predict but leave that one to nature. Rather, try to predict your intended actions as a reflection of the most important values that are present in the flow of our life. To match the planned actions with the values it is needed to keep track of both. That doesn’t take big energy if strict control is made part of the daily routine. Rather than elaborating this small piece of the action as part of the constant habit, you can be positively addicted to it. While this piece of the can be the first event when you have a sense of how your plan works in real life. Consider that you have timely data about your inner compliance with your honest values.

What have I learned from my 12 years old son during the holidays?

Image
I have just arrived home from a long trip and dropped in the room of my son for a chat before he fell asleep. He told me stories about what happened with him in the school. He performed really well and I become curious about his method of learning. I knew that he does not spend much time with learning at home. He has so many other interesting things to do. He revealed that he prepares himself in the school right before the class then he listens carefully to the teacher. To the end of the lecture he is in the state that the lesson is memorized.

I immediately remembered the lengthy meetings when we spent a lot of time to recall the known facts which were communicated in advance. During my many years in the business I faced such situations when most of the participants did not prepare for the meeting. It is not only a disrespect to others but root cause of huge loss of time...
