Alejandro Gómez Cobo, CEO based in Querétaro, Mexico, shares a practical personal standard focused on clarity, short-term goals, and disciplined communication.
Querétaro, Mexico, 12th January 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, Alejandro Gómez Cobo is calling on individuals to adopt a simple personal standard he credits with improving trust, focus, and decision-making across his life and career: Clear Language, Short Horizons, Weekly Reflection. The standard is designed for everyday use and applies to career decisions, health habits, learning, and personal finances—without relying on complex systems or tools.
“Most problems are not technical,” Gómez Cobo says. “They are human, and they usually start with unclear thinking.”
The Personal Standard: Clear, Short, Reviewed
The standard has three parts:
-
Clear Language: Say and write things so they cannot be misunderstood.
-
Short Horizons: Plan in weeks, not years.
-
Weekly Reflection: Review what worked, what didn’t, and why.
“I don’t fall in love with ideas,” Gómez Cobo explains. “I treat them like hypotheses and test them fast.”
Why the Basics Matter
Ignoring basic habits has measurable costs. Recent studies show:
-
48% of workplace errors are caused by unclear communication, leading to rework and delays.
-
62% of professionals report decision fatigue, often linked to too many priorities at once.
-
55% of adults say stress negatively affects their health, driven by lack of boundaries.
-
Nearly 40% of long-term plans fail, not due to bad ideas, but poor follow-through.
“Busy days feel productive,” Gómez Cobo says, “but if nothing actually improves, the cost shows up later.”
What People Get Wrong
Gómez Cobo believes many people overestimate the value of complexity.
“Long-term plans create comfort, not results,” he says. “Short-term goals create movement.”
He points to his own experience leading teams in agriculture, transportation, and strategic communication. Whether managing 150 employees on a farm or a 12-person startup, the same pattern appeared: confusion slowed progress, while clarity unlocked it.
“Words matter,” he adds. “They shape decisions, culture, and trust.”
A 30-Day Implementation Plan
Week 1: Clarify
-
Write down your top three priorities for the next 30 days.
-
Rewrite them in simple language a 9th grader could understand.
-
Eliminate anything that doesn’t directly support those priorities.
Week 2: Shorten
-
Convert all goals into weekly actions.
-
Limit daily focus to one meaningful task.
-
Reduce meetings, messages, or inputs by at least 20%.
Week 3: Execute
-
Track what you actually complete, not what you plan.
-
Protect one daily habit that supports your energy (walking, running, reading).
-
Stop work at a defined time at least three days this week.
Week 4: Reflect
-
Review what moved forward and what didn’t.
-
Identify one habit that helped and one that hurt.
-
Adjust the next 30-day cycle based on evidence, not emotion.
“Progress without reflection is accidental,” Gómez Cobo says. “Reflection turns effort into learning.”
One-Page Personal Checklist

A Standard Built From Experience
Gómez Cobo says this standard became essential after facing setbacks, including financial losses and depression.
“Getting help didn’t slow me down,” he says. “It made me clearer.”
Today, he measures success through personal progress and happiness rather than constant expansion. “I believe working less can make you more effective,” he notes. “Rest is not laziness.”
Call to Action
Adopt the Clear, Short, Reviewed standard for the next 30 days. Use the checklist daily. Review weekly. Adjust monthly. Share the checklist with someone who feels overwhelmed or stuck, and commit to clarity together.
“Even in bad times, I keep going forward,” Gómez Cobo says. “You adjust. You learn. You continue.”
