These are very similar to me and can be summed up with "what am I interested in now"? While the word "interest" may seem selfish, I'll keep with the word and mention that my interest is engaged by several things: *) "what is business urgent" often identified previously in earlier issues and/or engagement with the business in learnings with their teams; *) what is going to make us the most money (this is business after all) - often the most money is working an issue that will keep a client happy; *) what am I interested in now - I believe there is a lot to be said for being happy with what you are doing for example at home I don't take on projects unless I'm enthused otherwise I won't give the attention to detail that I need and expect. If I need to ramp up my interest, see the first two bullets! *) and of course what my boss is interested in, I become interested in - often on the merit of a challenge, rather than rote obedience Based on an interest in maintaining good business and personal interest I can both see the overall picture that needs to be organized as well as maintain focus on tasks at hand. to maintain task oriented productivity with prioritizations as well as being cognizant of the overall perspective I look toward finding a priority first, then maintaining interest in the project. These are very similar to me and can be summed up with “what am I interested in now”? While the word “interest” may seem selfish, I’ll keep with the word and mention that my interest is engaged by several things:

*) “what is business urgent” often identified previously in earlier issues and/or engagement with the business in learnings with their teams;
*) what is going to make us the most money (this is business after all) – often the most money is working an issue that will keep a client happy;
*) what am I interested in now – I believe there is a lot to be said for being happy with what you are doing for example at home I don’t take on projects unless I’m enthused otherwise I won’t give the attention to detail that I need and expect. If I need to ramp up my interest, see the first two bullets!
*) and of course what my boss is interested in, I become interested in – often on the merit of a challenge, rather than rote obedience

Based on an interest in maintaining good business and personal interest I can both see the overall picture that needs to be organized as well as maintain focus on tasks at hand.
