A good friend recently shared his strategy for writing with me. "When I'm done with a piece I usually let it sit for day. I sleep on it."
It reminded me of the value of taking a step back from a project. Ideas in the moment are often infused with excitement and a heightened sense of emotion. As a result, it can be harder to be objective about whether the idea is good, or if it'll even work well.
There's great value in going off and doing something completely unrelated to the project at hand. You may return with a fresh perspective and a sense of gratitude/relief for not rushing the process.
