Distance

As designers, our happy place is working on complex problems every day. Problems that require a great degree of domain knowledge. However, one of the greatest perspectives comes with distance. The unfamiliar have a curiosity that will pull threads on a basic premise or supposed truth. They can see a broader scope with more ease.

Consider letting a solution rest and coming back days later. Give yourself distance – get outside the details and you will likely critique your work more objectively.
