You've got to think about the big things, so the small things go in the right direction.

The Big and The Small Things need to be Aligned
The big goals, objectives, targets we need to achieve
“You’ve got to think about the big things while you’re doing the small things, so that all the small things go in the right direction.” – Alvin Toffler
This quote reminded me of an article I read a little while back, about becoming a self-starter. It also personally sums up the alignment of business planning
for me...and we do need a plan A, B, C, D, E and F currently.
We tend to do something when we are reminded of it, it is front and centre in our thoughts.
If we constantly think about the big things (the big goals, objectives, targets we need to achieve) the small actions we begin to take will be aligned.
The article described how they kept a piece of paper or card the size of a business card too which on one side they wrote their main goals, the other a visual representation of their goals. (I know how powerful this can be as I use a vision board already)
This piece of card you carry with you all the time, reminding yourself to look at it on a regular basis, eventually it will become habit.
Like the Vision Board, you must look at it early before starting work, and at the end of your day, cross-checking that all the small actions you have taken have moved you towards those main goals.
