How to get the most out of your reading books - SELF IMPROVEMENT

Providing outstanding amazing values through process clarity and improvement

To:   SBUs

Thru:   Tina Madel

Date:     June 24, 2026

Objectives:

     1.  To make our self improvement journey faster and longer lasting

     2.  To improve selves and to improve our kpi and kra

     3.  To make people productive

     4.  To make people impressive

     5.  To promote people who are qualified and knowledgeable

     6.   To lead the people achieve TRM (task related maturity)

Reality

    1.    Very few people pay little attention or not improve  or are 

           not serious about self improvement

    2.  No one invests in self improvement, ie buy books

   3.  Some people read scan, browse and do not remember anything

   4.  People seldom conduct AM talk to upgrade knowledge skill, work planning daily

  5.  Do we see book reports?   Do we have promotions based on book reports?

       None because no one says nag improve no proof naman, no results

WTDN    From MIT monk:

    HOW TO BE BETTER IN SELF IMPROVEMENT READING BOOKS

    The acronym is ACTOR

    A   - im    Be a spy.  Have a goal in what you want to find out from the book

                   rather than going on a shot gun approach

   C   compress -  When you read books you do not want to overload

                            your brain but you want to findd out the singlemost 

                            important idea that you picked from the book

                          This is in line with our promotion based on books read

                          What is the singlemost  important ideal learned.

                         Find out the trunk (using mind mapping) these contain

                         the main ideas.  The rest of the book are leaves and twigs-

                         examples and stories.  When you just gather the leaves, you

                         miss the trunks and main branches

                        You can ask your AI for the main idea

T   each          thats the reason why we ask for power point  

                       thats why we ask for am talk and sharing of book reports

                       once a week to make people really engage in hard efforts 

                      to learn and improve

O  wn             You own what you read if the main ideas in the book

                      disrupts and affect your routine work and life.

                     IT IS ASKED IN THE BOOK REPORTS.  How will it apply in 

                     your daily life.  If you do not own, it you wasted the book, and

                     or just borrowed or browsed this at the bookstore. 

                     Your goal in life is to find your GIFT cultiveate, polish it so that

                     it can be a blessing to others.

                     Other term -  relevance to you and your job...

R ead          If you read books, then in the future, you can read people,

                   events, lessons unfolding in an event, risks, opportunities to 

                   make money

                   That is why readers often, READ.  To read others and prepare

                   accordingly

To All:

Thru:   Madel and Tina

Date:    June 24, 2026

SUBJECT:   IMPROVE YOUR HABITS AND IMPROVE YOUR SUCCESS RATE AND YOURSELF

Copied from comments

     9 habits that will make you more successful 

hase 1: Attention Habits Correct After the Click: Instead of fighting a bad reflex (like clicking on social media or reaching for junk food), attach a positive behavior immediately after you catch yourself doing it [04:02]. By taking a simple action like drinking a glass of water, you interrupt the interruption [04:25].

          

           

2 Control Your Input (The 4D Framework): Unfinished tasks drain background mental resources [05:08]. To counter this, batch your communications (emails, messages) and use the 4D Framework on each item only once: Do it, Delegate it, Date it (schedule it), or Delete it [06:02].

 

3. Write to Think: Writing by hand brings deep conceptual clarity over typing [07:50]. Before any heavy conversation or foggy decision, lift the mental fog by answering three prompts on paper: What do I know? What am I assuming? What is the next honest action? [08:05]

 

Phase 2: Energy Habits 4 Quantize the Action: The hardest part of any routine is simply starting. Break your goals into the smallest possible "energy packets" (e.g., writing one line, doing half a push-up, walking for 1 minute) to drastically reduce the friction required to get going [09:37].

 

5. Set a Caffeine Cut-off Time: Caffeine has a half-life of 5 to 6 hours [10:36]. Drinking coffee in the late afternoon leaves a massive amount circulating in your system at bedtime, disrupting deep sleep and triggering a groggy morning cycle [10:56]. Stop caffeine intake at least 6 hours before bed [11:08].

 

6. Ride the Ultradian Waves: Your brain operates in 80 to 120-minute daytime cycles of high and low alertness [11:54]. Instead of forcing yourself through afternoon dips with more digital input, match a 60–90 minute focus block with a true 10–20 minute recovery block (walking or breathing) completely free of feeds or emails [13:06]. (There is no sustained focus. Brain works in waves)

 

Phase 3: Happiness Habits 7. Look Up (Practice Awe): Go outside at night and look at the stars [13:23]. Experiencing the vastness of the universe triggers a sense of profound awe, putting your daily stresses into perspective [15:32].  

8 Look Within (Practice Gratitude): Realize that you are made of the exact same stardust as the universe and that you are an entirely unique miracle [14:40]. Looking up reminds you that you're surrounded by miracles; looking down reminds you that you are one [15:42].

 

9....Forgive Yourself When Habits Break: Your routines and systems will inevitably break on bad days. Avoid the exhausting spiral of shame and self-prosecution; you do not have to be your best self on your worst day [16:00].

Systems and how to apply in life and work

Providing outstanding amazing values through process clarity and improvement

To:    All Sbus

 

Thru:   Mam Madel and Tina

SUBJECT;  SYSTEMS PRINCIPLES TYPES OF SYSTEM  AND HOW TO APPLY THIS IN OUR JOBS

    Objectives

   1.  To mold our minds into thinking into terms of system rather than linearly

   2.  To think in terms of team, and pattern to speed up action collectively

        in times of crisis

   Background

    1.  Many people say there is no system but we took time and effort to

         document everything in a blog, or have MCs printed.   THEY ARE

          REFERRING NOR ARE READING THIS AND DO THEIR OWN

         CONTRIBUTING TO THE  FOURTH TIME;  chaotic system

  2.  We operate on a matrix system and we have problems in terms of

      authority and scope (juristidction)  we operate on a matrix system

     May head and sbu, naintersect ang functional reporting ie to function

     and reporting:

         HR, Accounting and Marketing (multinational companies operate on

        triple matrix includes geographical grouping resulting in duplication)

   3.  Two authors guros talk about system

       Peter Senge  5th discipline.  One of the disciplines is system

              Everthing is a system.   Things in the universe is not affected 

             by one factor alone (vs Cause and Effect)    Every event result

             works more like parts of a clock   One breakdown spirals through

             the system causing the entire system to fail

             All system at one time or another will experience breakdown as time

            passes. 

      Hibino Breaktrhough thinking -   One of the elements is system:

           Input, throughput (process)  output, purpose, human aid,

           catalyst, supervision

WTDN 

How to think in terms of System

1.  We need to think in terms of system

2.   In a fire you need to know what is not visible, hidden patternss

3.   Parts of the system:

      1.   What is visible

       2.  Interconnection  (standards and keypoints) what makes this whole

   thing 

      3.   Pattern

          as per guidelines that were promulgated

         CAN THIS BE SPEEDED UP

      2   Ilan ang benta at collection as of May 13 ng sbu, per personnel

           CSS, CA, CMO -   sales, reservation,  prospects

                      1.  Emotion

                      customer no option

           3.  SELF IMPROVEMENT    are sites on sales training and admin plans

                being read

   3.  Obstacles:

        1.   Lack of communications  -  memos are still not read understood

              or workshopped

        2.  Need for better leadership and management    We need to exercise

             more force for leadership and start punishing the offenders.  A lot of

             offenders still here   They go unpunished.

            Senior people disobey and promote chaos and a certain senior person

            go on leave when given assignment and have counteless absences

            in 2025;    A trainee in Calapan even echanged barbs for being 

            questioned in their 0 performance

            If she must stay stay humble and apologize for misconduct

       3  Lack of passion commitment and sense of gratitude.   One sided

           Susuweldo walang responsibility

WHAT TO DO NEXT

1. Ms Tina  will attend to:

     1. Action on marketing plan and report on sales as of May 13, but as is this

        problem, her leave took precedence over the task on hand

  2.  Ms. Tina and Anne will make sure the reports are done correctly and on time.    Advancement on job and salary will follow upon exact execution

WHAT STUFF THEY ARE MADE OF HAS YET TO BE SEEN

They are required to submit separate minutes

Re: Key points on matters discussed with Ms. Sharifa, Ms CCS last April 17 at San Carlos Office 1000 am

1. May 50+ varieties of rare and imported bougainvilleas at Morong at the moment. We can propagate for other sbus. Currently testing grafting methods on rootstocks. 

2. Had meeting with Mr. PU San Miguel from Phil Native Trees org of Morong -- will coordinate with him in purchasing salimbobog trees

-- need to plan where to plant these trees because roots can become a problem when the trees grow big

3. Fire tree - morong can supply these to SBUs

HAMP nursery has flowering trees and shrubs

- bougainvillea

- kalachuchi (red, white, pink, other imported varieties)

- lotus

Discussions:

1.  Be grateful

    We should be thankful for our blessings  This should change our  attitude  We appreciate what we have not those with those that we do not have.   Magpasalamat sa nasa iyo hindi magnasa sa wala sa iyo.

2.  Be blessed to be a blessing to others.

     We also thank the Lord for the blessings.  We are given the power over the creation.  We create our miracles We pray so that God is an ATM;   so that we can be an ATM for others.  The first step

     is tithing.    Or think of things how to help others.  

3.  Ppt by trainees on JD :   KRA KPI  Tasks in relation to work orders

    The power point  presentations.  submitted especially by SCC  are unsatisfactory.  They simply copy pasted and no effort was made to show that the same is fully understood.   and thus

                    Cash Asst -    Ms Sharifa

           There are allegations of misconduct by other trainees   It is suggested that an incident report be made supported by videos, pictures docs so that the erring parties will be properly disciplined

           If there are no evidences and are simply  allegations or feelings, please forget them and concentrate with the goals on hand.   AND OBEY.   There is no place for those who think as subordinates
