while this is true and for me totally obvious, the problem for me is that this isnt always an option in many cases. sometimes the time needed to obtain more in order to make the task easier isnt available. so maybe i can put it down for a day or 2, but i really need to just walk away for a few weeks and come back to it. unfortunately if the obligation requires me to have what i can in a few days, then a few weeks break is just not feasible.
but i do review old things that were beyond my reach back then and i can see how much i've grown and see how much easier some things became.
