Deep Dive Productivity 2: The Bigger Picture

Portability and accessibility are powerful benefits anytime but especially in the busy commercial world. But portability and accessibility tend to dictate a small screen, a screen which on a phone gives close to zero detail on the month and on the tablet only adequate detail on the months ahead. Neither machine makes long-term planning and The Forward View easy nor necessarily attractive to do. And thus we-once again-are drawn into the busyness of now and not investing some of now to make tomorrow, next week and next quarter easier. 

Ensure a bigger picture. It might be some time at your full-screen machine to scroll and zoom and consider the bigger picture from family vacation to the spring sales conference. It might be a good old traditional paper wall planner. But sink or swim by your ability to get beyond the busyness of now and link to the possibilities of The Bigger Picture.
