Like Asgeir, that overnight test is a very significant one, and relates to more than just creative work. Take blogging for example – I often leave articles in my draft folder for some time in order to keep tweaking (another point you mention) until they’re ripe for publishing.

Thanks very much for the mention, Vivienne. ;)

I just came across your tag for me. Thank you, it’s quite an interesting topic. I’ll post my point of view as soon as I can clear all the stuff that’s cluttering my desk (and my brain.)

Well, I am not a designer. I am not a “creative type”. But well, I guess I have a law or two tucked away somewhere! :)

Hi Aaron – The pleasure is totally mine.

Hi Laura – Let me know when you’re done. Will like to pick your brains :)

Hi Asgeir – In the first place, I thank you for tagging me and let me think on the meme. I guess the third one can be trying, as it calls for lots of patience and perseverance. I must confess I don’t have either when I started out in the ad industry.

Great post. The Overnight Test is incredibly effective. I even find it useful to just sit down for a coffee or go grocery shopping, and return to the task with fresh eyes.

Your 3rd guideline, though, is one I seem to fail badly. I have to find the job extremely exciting and interesting to be able to keep working effectively and productive and tweaking it to perfection. I am way to quick to ‘finish’ everything that doesn’t excite me.

Thanks for the link!
