Zooming In and Zooming Out
Is There Only Reward for Having Laser Focus?
I welcome more discussion around focus! When to zoom in with laser focus for specific concerns. And when to zoom out for keeping focus broad. Both are needed. Zooming in gives attention to any given task at hand. Zooming out establishes counterbalance while being less intense.
I love being zoomed out! I love seeing the big picture. I love seeing the bigger picture, and the even bigger picture. Ha. I joke, but the reality is that not everyone’s “zoomed out” is the same. It’s like each person has their default setting as to what their preference is for zooming out. Some don’t zoom out as far as others. Is this an individual default setting or is this a choice?
What is Your Default Attention Setting?
What if someone’s default attention setting is zoomed out further than the average person? Is this okay? There are implications that come with being zoomed out. Some of the implications are tied up with the relationship to instances when there’s need to zoom in? Designations can be made to one’s process. Relative to specific tasks, some can frame being zoomed out as ADD. I’ve referred to the zoom out process as CPR — Cross Pollination Reorder (which you could read more about here).
