Deep dives

Understanding Horizons of Focus

Horizons of Focus is a framework that outlines different levels of perspective for assessing life and work, consisting of five distinct levels. The lowest level, known as the ground level, includes immediate next actions and calendar entries. Above that, Horizon One encompasses ongoing projects—these are the desired outcomes that an individual is currently committed to achieving. As one moves up the hierarchy, other levels include areas of responsibility, long-term goals, vision for the future, and personal principles, each offering a unique lens for prioritizing tasks and planning ahead.
