And one example that feels particularly apt here is that in my art classes in college, my drawing professors really hammered-in the habit of stepping back a few feet from your canvas.
It might feel like it's applicable specifically to that context, but it's amazing how much that voice comes back even when I'm working on code or 3D modeling: "take a step back."
