If you want to sail to NZ, usually you go around the tip of the North Island, cross from the Tasman into the Pacific, and tuck into the east coast.
Let’s pull up a map. Where is this place? What’s the bearing for Cape Rienga?
What direction are we going?
This leads to the next questions – what kind of boat will we need for that? Crew? What time of year would suit the trip? Sail choice? Food supplies?
Down the list we go.
The same thing seems to happen with our daily work. Often we seek more effectiveness, or productivity, but get tripped up on details first.
Here we can pause, and ask – what’s the most helpful here?
- The new morning routine our friend told us about
- A new scheduling app that promises longer focus times
- Getting clear on the story we want to create in our work or business
Eventually the tactics will be important, but a lot of times these can be easy go-to’s, when the harder work really is pulling out the map and getting a clearer on our vision and the story we want to create (together?).
