¿Quién se ha llevado mi queso?
Spencer, Md. Johnson.
|
Había una vez dos ratoncitos y dos hombrecillos que vivían en un laberinto. Estos cuatro personajes dependían del queso para alimentarse y ser felices. Como habían encontrado una habitación repleta de queso, vivieron durante un tiempo muy contentos. Pero un buen día el queso desapareció...
Esta fábula simple e ingeniosa puede aplicarse a todos los ámbitos de la vida. Con palabras y ejemplos comprensibles incluso para un niño, nos enseña que todo cambia, y que las fórmulas que sirvieron en su momento pueden quedar obsoletas.
El "queso" del relato representa cualquier cosa que queramos alcanzar "la felicidad, el trabajo, el dinero, el amor" y el laberinto es la realidad, con zonas desconocidas y peligrosas, callejones sin salida, oscuros recovecos... y habitaciones llenas de queso. Escrito por un autor de fama internacional, este relato está prologado por un renombrado consultor empresarial. Sus enseñanzas han servido de inspiración en todo tipo de compañías y organizaciones empresariales.
Spencer Johnson, licenciado en Psicología y doctor en Medicina, es un autor de éxito internacional con millones de ejemplares vendidos en veintiséis idiomas. Algunos de sus libros son ya auténticos clásicos, como el famoso manual de dirección empresarial El ejecutivo al minuto, escrito en colaboración con Kenneth Blanchard. Las obras de Spencer Johnson contienen enseñanzas que han ayudado a millones de lectores a vivir más felices y enfrentarse a los problemas con menos estrés.

Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity
David Allen. Viking Press 2001
|
With first-chapter allusions to martial arts, "flow," "mind like water," and other concepts borrowed from the East (and usually mangled), you'd almost think this self-helper from David Allen should have been called Zen and the Art of Schedule Maintenance.
Not quite. Yes, Getting Things Done offers a complete system for downloading all those free-floating gotta-do's clogging your brain into a sophisticated framework of files and action lists--all purportedly to free your mind to focus on whatever you're working on. However, it still operates from the decidedly Western notion that if we could just get really, really organized, we could turn ourselves into 24/7 productivity machines. (To wit, Allen, whom the New Economy bible Fast Company has dubbed "the personal productivity guru," suggests that instead of meditating on crouching tigers and hidden dragons while you wait for a plane, you should unsheathe that high-tech saber known as the cell phone and attack that list of calls you need to return.)
As whole-life-organizing systems go, Allen's is pretty good, even fun and therapeutic. It starts with the exhortation to take every unaccounted-for scrap of paper in your workstation that you can't junk, The next step is to write down every unaccounted-for gotta-do cramming your head onto its own scrap of paper. Finally, throw the whole stew into a giant "in-basket"
That's where the processing and prioritizing begin; in Allen's system, it get a little convoluted at times, rife as it is with fancy terms, subterms, and sub-subterms for even the simplest concepts. Thank goodness the spine of his system is captured on a straightforward, one-page flowchart that you can pin over your desk and repeatedly consult without having to refer back to the book. That alone is worth the purchase price. Also of value is Allen's ingenious Two-Minute Rule: if there's anything you absolutely must do that you can do right now in two minutes or less, then do it now, thus freeing up your time and mind tenfold over the long term. It's commonsense advice so obvious that most of us completely overlook it, much to our detriment; Allen excels at dispensing such wisdom in this useful, if somewhat belabored, self-improver aimed at everyone from CEOs to soccer moms (who we all know are more organized than most CEOs to start with). --Timothy Murphy
