Be more intentional about stepping back every so often.

I try to reflect often. But when you’re in the thick of your career, in the middle of a project, and in the start of midterms, it’s nearly impossible to reflect.

But stepping back every so often to look at the problem you’re trying to solve might just be your saving grace.

It allows you to see the “why” and potentially find a new “how.”

A tip that has helped me do this is “sleep on it.” I wait a day or two before any major decision on my projects.

Sure, it slows me down a bit, but I often think of ways to improve the way I do something. For one decision in particular, it was a difference of nearly $40,000 over the past year.
