I should always see my life as a big picture, not be limited on what I am doing now or today.
In my life I have several fields need to get progress: PM, IQM(daily work), English, Temporal database, Children, Investment and database.
I need to always jump out from what I need to do today to build my To-do list.
all fields are important in my improvement, so it is important to make progress on each field, even if spend 10 minutes on it.
I like one of my big boss words to describe the function of To-do list or the big picture:
When in doubt, we can make a progress anyway.
