Improve your skillset. Learn how to use a new tool, whether it be a computer-based one, a new physical or virtual modeling technique, or even a tool which can help you to develop a new way of analyzing building design factors like noise, light, wind, temperature and so on. Learning a new skill will help you think differently and communicate differently. And the more versatile you are with communicating design ideas to yourself and others, the stronger your designs will be from inception to completion.
