Eye-view

If you’re in the middle of the forest, it’s hard to see the big picture.

The worm’s-eye view is great for focus.

The bird’s-eye view is great for perspective.

You need both, regularly.

The worm’s-eye view is your day-to-day routine.

The bird’s-eye view is the direction you’re headed, and why.

If you don’t regularly step back from the worm’s-eye view, you’re like the airplane that never corrects its course.

You’ve got to get back to the first principles. To the foundation. To the big picture. Every step needs to be directed and focused.

At least weekly, it’s good to step outside of your routine environment and give yourself a few hours to unplug, reset, and re-direct.

There is a reason that taking regular sabbaticals or “mini-retirements” is related to peak performance, productivity, and creativity.

Human beings need time to recharge, think, and rest.

Those who are working the most aren’t those who are DOING the most.
