It's easy for a project manager to get overly tied up with your day-to-day project issues. So, the time to think with care about what's happening - and what's not - seems a luxury.

The solution is simple - though not always easy.
Set aside half an hour each week. Book it as a private meeting if that helps. And take yourself off to a quiet place or a café. Take nothing with you but a notebook and pen. And for half an hour, let your mind wander over your project.

I have found that on around half the times I do this, nothing much comes to me. But it's the other times that matter. Then, I've had valuable insights into things we're missing. Or notice trends or patterns we need to be aware of.

So my suggestion: create time to see around the next bend.\n
