About Pocket Notes
Most of what shapes our days is small enough to walk past. A colleague who went quiet in a meeting. A cup of tea gone cold because the call ran over. The obvious thing everyone in the room missed.
Pocket Notes is one short piece a week about those moments, at work and in life. It arrives every Wednesday and takes under five minutes to read.
Each one ends with the 3-Minute Pause:
30 seconds to stop.
60 to notice.
90 to decide what happens next.
It's for people who keep work moving, such as managers, project leads and the person everyone asks, and who suspect there's more to see than their calendar shows.
Hi, I'm JR. I come from HR and project management, where I spent years in rooms where the important thing went unsaid.
I write the way I try to listen: attentively, and without hurrying
