It's fascinating how differently I view a problem after a good night's sleep.

Today I woke up and immediately solved a problem that stumped me yesterday. The solution was felt obvious. It's as though my subconscious solved it while I slept.
This is also why I try to work at least 2 projects at the same time. When I'm stuck on one, I move to the other.

This avoids me churning while stuck, and gives my subconscious time to chew on the problem.
