Sometimes, we get so busy on the hamster wheel at work that we lose sight of the longer-term picture.

It might feel like it's impossible to slow the wheel down and catch your breath.

But it's necessary if you're in the world of knowledge work.

Being strategic at work requires us to slow the hamster wheel down to a comfortable jog from time to time. This allows you to see the bigger picture and set strategic direction.

One technique for doing this: plan regular Think Weeks.

Think weeks are a tool of leaders and CEOs, but they can be adapted at any level of an organization.

A Think Week will get you out of day-to-day execution mode, and give you the luxury of time for forward planning.
