B1 05: Plan personal de bienestar

Durante las ultimas semanas, Elena ha trabajado un objetivo vinculado con Health. El plan inicial parecia simple: reunirse el sabado en el centro, revisar prioridades y repartir tareas. Sin embargo, al avanzar aparecieron diferencias de ritmo y comunicacion entre las personas del grupo. Para evitar retrasos, Elena propuso un esquema de coordinacion con plazos breves y seguimiento semanal. La propuesta mejoro la colaboracion, aunque exigio negociar varias decisiones practicas. Al cierre del proyecto, el equipo identifico resultados utiles y tambien limites que deberian corregirse en la siguiente fase. Ademas, acordaron documentar aprendizajes para que nuevos participantes entiendan el proceso desde el primer dia.
