“Why?”

It seems too easy, almost childish, but asking “why” is a great way to figure out what to do to accomplish a goal. Each time you ask yourself why, you’re zooming out a little bit more and seeing more of the big picture. Keep doing it until you can’t zoom out anymore, then dive back in. I find that exercise really helpful in situations where I have a solution in search of a problem, or when I think I know the answer intuitively but need to validate it.
