#17 Planning & Plodding

There’s an art to knowing when to scheme big picture stuff and when to enable tunnel vision to focus only on the very next step. 


Mastering how to balance both will make you a mean problem solver in 1000 different contexts.  If you focus too much on the big picture, you’ll be bogged down by the bigness of the goal and your productivity will shut down.  If you’re only looking at the next step and forgetting the big picture, you’ll likely get off course and keep productively taking small steps to nowhere.  It’s always both, and each problem requires different levels of each ingredient at distinct times.
