Sometimes I get so fixated on what’s right in front of me, that I don’t see the opportunities and threats that are coming in from other angles.
I’m perpetually on the razor’s edge about to enjoy the benefits of extreme focus, or fall victim to it.
At the same time, constant worry about the objects in my rear view mirror or my peripheral vision distract me from focusing on the road ahead.
What I’m finding is that it’s less about being able to alternate between the two, and instead more about having a great co-pilot, so I can focus on what I do best, which is the task I’ve chosen to put right in front of me.
