But it’s so Obvious!

Here’s a little something from Roger von Oech:
It seems that Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson went on a camping trip. They pitched their tent under the stars and then went to sleep. In the middle of the night Holmes awakened and exclaimed, “Watson, look up and tell me what you deduce.” Watson opened his eyes, and said, “I see billions and billions of stars. It’s likely that some of these stars have planetary systems. Furthermore, I deduce that there is probably oxygen on some of these planets, and it’s possible that life has developed on a few of them. Is that what you see?” Holmes replied, “No, you idiot. Somebody stole our tent!”
The question is: “How do you see the obvious?”
Who hasn’t been caught with egg on their face because they missed something really obvious? (“Honey, where are my sunglasses?” “They’re on top of your head, Dear.”) Do yourself a favor and check this one out. Roger is asking for people to tell him what techniques they use to make sure they’re not “missing the obvious”, and there are already some good suggestions in the comments.
If you’ve got one, then by all means, run (don’t walk) to his site and share it!
