Everything comes from mental models

The meaning of money is a collective mental model because paper itself doesn't have that much value. It's what it represents which has value, and that comes from a collective mental model.

Overcoming obstacles and achieving objectives is supported by the quality of the mental models we use. And to have good quality mental models firstly, we need to know ourselves or the organization the best we can and then start making experiments and recording results until we get closer to where we want to be.

Mental models. 

Example: I want to run more often. Then, identify what's the motivation behind and put in place mental models to support that goal. Helping the unconscious mind might help by placing the running shoes in a visible place plus a picture or message which summarizes the motivation. Let's say, running a half marathon. Then writing a 21K in a visible place in your room. That system would help to get you started joining the motivation with the trigger (running shoes) and oeganising a good time during the day/week for it so it can become a habit.

Taking months of very light work so I could organise my own learning and creation, and it’s been almost a whole year. It’s a bittersweet feeling. On the one hand, I’m very grateful I had the chance to live a sort of “year gap” in which I focused on my personal growth, and that on its own is a great accomplishment, I didn’t fail that promise I made to myself while working hard for years. That moment finally came, I respected the promise and I’m grateful for it. On the other hand, I learnt so much from it....

Let actions do the talk

The way people act is a more accurate representation of their inner feelings/ motivations, than what they actually say. We can’t be 100% sure about things, but I believe our actions say more about our true selves than what we actually say. Relationships are complex. Get more skilled at reading people’s actions, as well as your own, and you will understand better the people around you and your relationships.  Sergio, reflection about friendships. Conclusion: “let actions do the talk”.
