If you’re a domainer, seeing the big picture is important to say the least. Every now and then, you have to leave your day to day activities aside and focus on putting together long-term strategies.

I’ve noticed that in order to do that effectively, clearing your mind helps a lot.

You can’t just say “ok, I’m going to take a 5 minute break and plan for the future”… well, I guess you could but it’s not something I’d recommend.

Don’t underestimate the importance of planning.

Most people feel better about themselves when they actually *do* something but believe me, thinking about the future is anything but a waste of time.

Relax, try to avoid thinking about business-related tasks, household-related tasks or whatever and, instead, focus exclusively on trying to figure out what the best strategies for the future are.

IMO, everyone should have at least one “let’s think about the future” day each year.

I have several and strongly believe it’s one of the best investments of time you can possibly make.
