About powerful reflexes
|
Repetition is a very powerful tool. I’ve done kung fu for many years. You can do very well a movement, understand the technique, but only the repetition of that technique more than 1000 times makes you interiorize the technique and convert it into a reflex. It’s that simple. Repetition. If you are to use that technique in real life and a punch comes in, you don’t have the time to think about the technique. If you do, the punch got you first. This is something that you can apply to anything you do. And it works for the best and the worst. You repeat badly… you’ll interiorize that reflex. That’s bad. ​ And this is something that works mentally. The rehearsal of meetings and situations in your brain is more important than you think. Do it over and over and your answers will become reflexes… Instead, many people tell themselves after an important meeting: “sh*t, I should have said that”. ​ You know what I’m talking, right? ​ But there is more than that. ​ It’s about you treat yourself. ​ Remember, the most important resource in your project or business is yourself. ​ You need to take care of yourself, forgive your mistakes, and avoid being too hard on yourself. Occasionally, allow yourself to take a break—a free day to disconnect from responsibilities and recharge. Reflect on why you're putting in this effort, doubling your time and energy, and realign with your goals. ​ Being hard on yourself is non-sense… and if you do it every time after a mistake, it will become a reflex… To avoid it, your brain you stay quiet… instead of taking calculated risks. ​ I can give you a hand with reflexes. You can book me below.

In New Zealand there is a survey about the infrastructure world going on. They ask you two questions: One: how important you think that it is to have a pipeline for decision makers? Answer: critical. Two: how good is the actual pipeline. Answer: useless. The reason is simple. The actual pipeline is a wish list. A list of projects that want to be built. That’s great. But where is the tracking about what is in the pipeline and what is actually being delivered? If that’s not there, there is no...
Today I had some conversations about one of the biggest sources of delay, frustration, and conflict in PPPs:The Review Procedures. Agencies still treat them like they’re signing a traditional construction contract. They micromanage the design. They dive into details they don’t own. And worst of all — they brief their consultants poorly (if at all) on what the review is supposed to achieve. The result? Endless comments that add no value. Delays that push the schedule back months. An...
A few birthdays this week. And you know what. People get older. Time passes by… but they do not necessarily grow up. As Robert Kiyosaki once said “Many people run from mom and dad’s shelter to the shelter of a company or the government”. Take government and you can exchange it by “a company”, “a secure job”, “a long term project”… Too many people spend their lives looking for guarantees and spend all their lives avoiding risk, avoiding growing up, and always looking for a surrogate “parent”...
