There is some very meaningful work to be done in this "perspective/reminder" space
This falls under the category of "knowing thyself". Each man must learn his own rhythms and behaviors well enough to build a system custom-tailored to his needs - and adapt it as he changes, too.
Even in something as simple as the Lord's prayer ("Give us today our daily bread..."), we are taught that, yes, this sort of perspective shift is required daily. And to skip it means that one will begin to drift. I heard a great phrase once, and it's that "vision leaks."
Whether in your own life or leading an organization, if you are not daily renewing the "stickiness" of your vision, it will leak.
I like to keep an ever-changing whiteboard (otherwise my brain soon ignores it) of short reminders on the wall next to my front door, and also a plain notebook that I carry everywhere for weekly to-do / prayer / big-picture reminders. Journaling helps too, but I don't do that daily.
The thing that ties it all together though is the daily restoration via a relationship with Christ, I am always learning something new in prayer and through reading the Bible. Many on HN would deny and balk at the existence of a man's soul/spirit, but what you're talking about missing has been known for thousands of years as daily spiritual renewal.
If you think the answer is a daily ritual like meditation, you'll simply grow tired of that habit quite soon. And rightfully so, it entirely misses the point of what God intended - a grace-filled and dynamic daily relationship with Him.
