Such a good question, I feel like this would be an amazing interview question honestly (I'm keeping it in my notes for hiring next year lol). I think for me, I have to carve out time to think conceptually or big picture about the work we're doing. I try to carve out 2 hours every week to analyze and review our progress and how it fits into our larger goals. I recommend it
I would say prioritize. If day to day is critical then big picture will slide. Also recommend having a roadmap for important milestones and then create day to day tasks that support big picture milestones. This can be a hard change depending on your organization. In my previous corporate job when timelines where not met they would tell us to skip meetings and only attend critical ones!
i did leave my last job for a much smaller company and I can say that there is very little unnecessary day to day in this new company. In my old corporate job it seemed like some peoples entire job was to create bloated processes and paperwork. this was very frustrating and when I left they had embraced these “processes” even though it was causing huge delays. I felt they were chasing the illusion that there was some ideal process which caused constant changes and redoing work. Not sure what your situation is but I found this to be oppressive. despite my constant complaints about the process it was just forced on us. Make time to learn new things and do important projects. you can put skills and accomplishments on a resume. nobody cares how many meetings you took or how well you formatted documents.
