When working on something\u00a0intensely over a long period of time you can easily lose perspective on the quality of your own work.\u00a0There’s a lot of ways to get past it, and everyone has their own. Sometimes just taking a break is enough, but often getting feedback from\u00a0other professionals you trust can\u00a0help.
