In a thread that will mainly be dedicated to bitching, this is good advice. I forget the first time somebody suggested that, may have been a writing coach at some long-forgotten stop of mine, or maybe in an API session.

I do that quite a bit, especially when I'm having trouble focusing on a piece of work that I've already gone over more than once.
