How often do you think to yourself, “I just need to solve this problem, and then I can relax”? Well, as counter-intuitive as it sounds, it’s putting off your relaxing that’s preventing you from solving your problem. And here’s why:
As I talked about in a previous post, there are 2 types of focus that facilitate problem-solving: eagle vision and mouse vision.
In our busy, information-saturated lives, the ability to control what you focus on is possibly the most powerful skill that you can develop. If you want to be more productive, successful and happy – whether it’s in business or life in general, there are two types of focus that you need to master, along with the flexibility to be able to move smoothly between these two types of focus.

Eagle vision happens when you take a high level perspective, pull away from the detail and look at the big picture and the overall direction you’re headed in. This is where you need to go with your focus if you’re wanting to decide your direction or evaluate whether you’re going in the direction you want to be. Eagle vision involves focusing on WHAT you want, rather than how you’re going to make it happen.
