Memory vs. Notes

I have a very good memory. Really good. Yet, I always take notes.

Plenty of time I see fellow employees or coworkers relying on memory for their meeting minutes, and countless of times I see delays, mishaps or misunderstandings, just because there was an incorrect recording of an event, a task, a meeting or an agreement.

The reason why I keep notes -and by notes I mean use project management tracking resources- is because if someone else was to take over my job, or simply have a quick look at what I’m doing, they should be able to easily figure out exactly every single piece of information about a project.

Always think of the team.

The transition year

Working from home, masks, events with no crowds, and so many other routines we weren’t used to two years ago… but we’re slowly starting to go back.

From what it looks, 2021 will be “The transition year”: a year to refigure things out, a year in which we may start to get glimpses of the way life worked before this all started.

Book reviews

Last month I started to send ARCs to authors, academics and journalists who are interested in reviewing my book, prior its release date.

If you know anyone who may be interested in reviewing my book, please feel free to contact me at noticias@es.hectoraliruiz.com

(This applies for the Spanish version, as the English version is currently being edited).

Thank you!

The long journey to make it…

As an independent author -and also self-publishing-, I have bee walking what I refer to as “The long journey to make it…” Definitely it’s not anything new, as hundreds of thousands of writers before me have transited it before.

Sometimes I think on how hard the competition is out there. How many thousands of authors like me are trying to fit in and have their works heard and read. But then I think about how lucky we are for living in the present time, where we have plenty of resources to make our journey worth it. It brings perspective to the meaning of the phrase “enjoy the journey, more than the goal”.

Book Trailer #1

Today is a very special day, as I am releasing the first Book Trailer of my book as you will see below.

Note: This is the book trailer for the Spanish edition, as the English edition of the book is still in the works, but for those English speakers who are also fluent in Spanish, I hope you enjoy it.

Happy New Year 2021!

Happy New Year 2021!

Break from blogging

Due to an event that took place recently in my personal life and of which for now I cannot share, but I will later, I will be taking a break from blogging for the upcoming weeks.

I will resume in January or February, 2021.
