If you’re like me and most people, no matter how good your intentions may be, you’re going to have the world come at you faster than you can keep up. I usually do my weekly review at home on Sunday night. I schedule two hours for my Weekly Review. What do I do during this time?
Gather all loose papers and process. Recovering the Lost Art of Note Taking. I spend most of my work-life in meetings. Note-taking is a survival skill. Yet, I am surprised at how few people bother to take notes in meetings. Those who do sometimes express frustration at how ineffective the exercise seems to be.

Note-taking enables you to stay engaged. But how can you more effectively take notes? Use a journal-formatted notebook.

En una conversación con un exitoso empresario, me manifestaba su dificultad en motivar a su personal, indicaba que con la última reforma laboral, prácticamente no tenía espacio para dar incentivos. Dejamos la conversación para mas adelante, y en el intertanto recordé un antiguo estudio de sociología de la UC sobre los factores que motivaban a los funcionarios del sector público, ahí, según recuerdo, aparecía en primer lugar asumir la importancia de lo que hacían, en segundo el ver el impacto personal en los resultados, el tercer lugar las condiciones físicas de trabajo y sólo en cuarto lugar las remuneraciones Recordé también el libro "Hung Ho" y su formula de la energía empresarial E=MxCxC, donde M es la Misión de la empresa (la importancia de lo que hacen), la primera C el Cash, y la segunda C, las Congratulaciones Y sincrónicamente me llega por la red el artículo "LOS 40 DRIVERS QUE MOVILIZAN EL COMPROMISO DE LOS COLABORADORES" En este artículo, se priorizan estos 40 factores:
