24 hour rule...TIP

jpmurph

I spent 4 hours troubleshooting a problem yesterday, to no avail. Woke up this morning put a fresh set of eyes on the problem and had it working in 20mins...

Just wanted to tip folks off out there thats its ok to walk away, give it 24 hours and come back. You'll find it helps keep the frustration from boiling over!

Hope that helps!!!

Ideas come to me all the time. I actually ski better when I'm thinking about gamesalad than skiing. Autopilot and all that.

Same for me, I've had quite a few instances where I went to bed thinking about my game and then it hits me like a brick wall. Pretty interesting how that works. It must have something to do with the screen melting our brains.

I know that feeling. I think it's one of those Edgar Casey moments, when you lay back, relax, shut your eyes, and tap into the universal celestial database of knowledge. :P

if only we could reach the point of gamesalad addiction, that when you wake up you've actually solved a problem and worked on your game and published it in your sleep.

This is why I take my MacBook Pro to bed with me. Unlike Tshirt I don't need to get up and go down, I just open it up and do it in bed

yep, is all I can say. Works every time.

Just walk away and it will come to you.

My wife always tells me to sleep on it, and she is right 100% of the time.
