Is Hill Climbing Ruinous?

Hill climbing can be ruinous for problems where the solution space could be represented as kind of like a a landscape with multiple different hills and peaks and valleys. So i think what this means for our lives is, if you're stuck on a task, it can be really useful to ask yourself, am i inappropriately trying to use the hill climbing herea stick? Do i actually need to temporarily move further away from my goal in order to actually get there? And in myself, one thing that immediately came to mind as an example was sometimes when i'm writing im i'm working on a paragraph or a page or something that just does not feel right,. Like i know it is not going right,
