Assess from 30,000 Feet

Every now and then go away, have a little relaxation, for when you come back to your work your judgment will be surer. Go some distance away because then the work appears smaller and more of it can be taken in at a glance and a lack of harmony and proportion is more readily seen.”
-Leonardo Da Vinci

Look at your life from 30,000 feet-like the images you see from outside an airplane window. Look at the big picture to regain a sense of what “normal” tends to feel like for you. Use this tool to help you regain your sense of balance. It serves as a compass to help you see, create, see again, create again, and so on. It’s a back and forth movement from which you work on the ground floor and then take a moment to utilize a bird’s-eye view. Sometimes reestablishing your normal scheme is more difficult than just taking a few days off. As a result, utilizing this big picture can become very helpful.
