I was recently told that I don't just believe in thinking outside the box but I don't even believe in pidgeon holes :)
When I was running a previous site I worked on it night and day for years and hardly ever visited any other sites. I felt like I was in a prison cell and eventually gave the site away. Now I am developing new sites and enjoying the time to research, compare, learn the skills I always wanted to learn and never had time, etc.
It is now easy to see that if I spent more time learning from other sites and less time in my "cell" with the previous site I could have had a lot more free time or could have developed a more efficient web site.
Reading Peter's example of traveling is what really made me realize what I have been doing. I am English but have not lived in the UK for 34 years. Travelling and living around the world does make you see your own country in a much clearer perspective.
My problem now is that I have been away from the UK for so long I hardly know what the UK (the box) is like anymore:)
