  • What your approach should be when you return to your project.

 

QUOTES

“Stepping away doesn’t just mean filing it in a drawer, not looking at it. When you step away, you want to have somewhere to go.” 

“Avoid jumping right back into whatever the problem area was. …Don’t get sucked into the details.”

“When I came back, I was able to see everything different with a broader perspective. And to see that I still love the story, that I still believe in the story, that I still think it is a great story, and that it’s going to be worth the time to resolve the issues that are preventing it from showing its greatness.”
