Introducing the "Lessons Learned" Category

January 1, 2009

In my time management course, I encourage participants to note any “lessons learned” when reviewing their days activities.  This could be something profound or a minor tweak.  It doesn’t matter what it is – what matters is capturing insights in ways that make change easier.  It’s one way to stay awake to our experience (which is what matters even more).

This sort of simple self-observation has become so useful to me, it is now part of my daily practice.  And, as with sharing the development of my business manual, the best way I can demonstrate the power of this daily practice is to share my “lessons learned” here in my blog.

Again, I invite you to follow along and share your own “lessons learned.”  Let’s find out what we can learn from each other.
