One thing I've learned to do - too slowly, to my regret! - is to study those people. What do they do? _Why_ are they doing it? What's the gestalt? What are the big, obvious things that I would never think even to question, but which they do differently?

Everything from the tiniest mechanics to the largest gestalt, from the mundane to the remarkable is worth thinking about, and learning from. I know that sounds like a cliche, but I think it's true. There's so much to learn from in others that I think we often screen it out.

Yeah it sounds cliche but when I moved to the valley in 2010 (26 yrs old) it felt like “okay this is the world I always thought existed” but was beginning to lose hope in finding. Jack Ma tells it best with his story of in sv seeing “lights on at night and on the weekends”
