How to Do Smarter Creative Work

There’s a tool for getting a fast, sure start on project work every day. It’s the Daily Navigator

But sometimes our creative projects sprawl for weeks, months, even years across calendar pages.

The project gets too big to lay out neatly in your mind. It’s hard to know what to do now and how you’re doing in the big picture.

We can tie dependable, chunked-down daily work to the big picture just often enough to stay grounded.

You still want that Daily Navigator to help you always be ready for next turns.

Now bring in the Weekly Navigator to make sense of the larger project. This keeps what you do today grounded in where you are in the larger view of your work.

Zoom In, Zoom Out

At an unfamiliar shopping mall, if you didn’t come in for a leisurely wander-around you will probably look for the map. You need shoes, lunch, and a funny birthday gift.

Oh good, here’s the mall directory.

You are here.

Do you see the first store you want to find? Do you see a path you like from here to there?

Or do you need to plot a route to two or three stores but start with the restrooms?

Is there anything you can eat at the food court?

Can you get this done in an hour? Maybe not, but let’s start at the most likely store for shoes and take it from there.

Notice the turns you’ll make to get there. Now go!

Weekly Navigator

That’s the Weekly Navigator, a broader view of what’s happening and what still matters in your project.

This tool helps you connect how you’re doing daily with what you’re working to achieve in the end. You get insights into how you can do better, get unstuck, make decisions, or prepare for what’s coming up soon.

Finally, you link those insights back to smarter work coming out of your Daily Navigator’s support.

Zoom in to see the work in your hands now, and get going with the Daily Navigator.

Zoom out at the work ahead to achieve your goal, using the Weekly Navigator. It will make your daily work smarter, more targeted, with more progress toward your success.
