Big Picture or Detail Oriented

People either think in big picture or details. Not both simultaneously.

Part of the stress is the pressure to simultaneously see the big picture and details. We know that people tend to be detail oriented or big picture oriented. It’s impossible to do both simultaneously. Realize that you have to flip mental roles back and forth through the day. No one else does those two processes equally well either. You have one you do primarily. The other is a secondary back up. Do your preferred process; then flip to the other.
