Work on a problem very hard. Focus on the details.
Then go for a walk. I'll somehow keep thinking about the problem but in a more random way. I'll make unexpected connections and find inspiration.
Sleeping helps too instead of going for a walk.

I need to learn from you and develop the discipline to step away from the problem strategically haha

Yes, that's what half of the course is about ;)
