How Do You Make Long Term Plans?

We have a part of our brain that is good at making long term plans for the accomplishment of important goals. The problem is, this centre of our brain cannot deal with 600 unread messages and 75 different open obligations on your task list when it sees 15 columns on your trello board. It's hard to produce good work in that state. Every obligation on your plate will bring with it a fixed amount of overhead,. emales with people checking in on how it's going, meetings, resume calls for status up dates. And now most of your time ends up with this unavoidable fixed overhead. So those two factors are negative, negative impacts on your ability to produce value.
