Founder's journal: Building up intellectual momentum through other work puts you in a better position to break through builders block once you return to the work that was causing it. The final way i try to push through these sticking points is by talking to people i trust and people who are good convergent thinkers, but also people who are ideally the target customer of the product. So many smart product minds have always said, talk to your customers to see what they think. I wholeheartedly believe in the practice of intellectual confusion for professional development.
