Zooming Out

So what can you do to get aligned on every level of perspective?

Levels

So what are the levels that we engage with?

Actions: Tasks and events that we work on.

Projects: Series of tasks that we do to get certain outcomes.

Areas: Life categories that we manage and maintain over time.

Goals: Accomplishments that we achieve when we complete certain milestones.

Vision: Long-term view of our life categories.

Purpose: Overarching direction and principles that serve as a Northstar.

So how to make sure that we review each level of perspective at the right time?

Create a recurrent task for each level to review. Here's how:

Actions: Daily Review

Projects: Weekly Review

Areas: Monthly Review

Goals: Quarterly Review

Vision: Bi-Yearly Review

Purpose: Yearly Review

Finally, what are some practical steps you can take to ensure that you zoom out and review each perspective at the right time?

Make sure that your recurring tasks are properly set up.
Take a moment to pause and re-evaluate your perspectives when something changes in your life.
Set aside time each day, week, month, quarter, and year to think about each perspective and make sure it's still relevant.
