“Every now and then go away, have a little relaxation, for when you come back to your work your judgment will be surer. Go some distance away because then the work appears smaller and more of it can be taken in at a glance and a lack of harmony and proportion is more readily seen.” [...]
If you’re visiting this site, you’re probably a workshifter. Or, at the very least, someone who’s interested in the subject and the lifestyle.
