Good To Great

JANUARY 16, 2012

One of my resolutions for 2012 was to take a Find 15 approach to my personal development, and use my blog to record what I did with my 75 minutes each week. And I used Evernote to draft and store blog posts. I then sorted the remaining subscriptions into four categories: L&D, presenting, writing/blogging, and entertainment.

I’m slightly late to the party, so you may have already seen the debate prompted by Craig Taylor’s recent blog post ; if not, take a look. Craig was shocked at a recent event when some people expressed discomfort at him taking notes on his iPad. I can’t promise I won’t still print them out and keep them in my folder of useful things, though!

You might work through a chapter of a reference book, participate in a webinar, search blogs and wikis for advice and best practice in a particular area, watch a YouTube video or listen to a podcast. Most importantly, you must record how you spend the 15 minutes and what you believe you’ve gained from it.

I just came across a real gem of a letter on Letters of Note (a blog that’s definitely worth a look), sent by C.S. Lewis to a young American fan in 1956. Isn’t it lovely and quite remarkable that he replied to his fan mail in such a thoughtful and personal way?

I figure I can always share my own opinions later, either via Twitter or more often via my blog. But in many cases, the speaker is packing in so much good stuff that adding my own reflections would be at the expense of their content.
