Sunset in Oland, Sweden – 2014

I am naturally open-minded, spontaneous, and adaptable. I operate most effectively when I have all the information in front of me. This means: “Out of sight, out of mind.”

Suppose we have vegetables with a short shelf life. I have to put them in the front of the fridge. I’ll forget to eat them if I don’t see them.

This is fine for perishable foods in a refrigerator. But what about tasks? Strategic objectives? People?

I manage daily, weekly, monthly, and annual tasks on a Trello board. I allocate calendar time to strategizing about long-term goals. I set recurring reminders to catch up with people. I recommend you do the same.

I will eat the vegetables if I see them on my plate.
