<human>: I have a job as a Network Analyst, and its all about deductive reasoning, and (duh) analyzing. 

After 5 years of doing it, I feel maybe im getting burned out. I used to go through each step as it was fresh in my mind, now its like my brain locks up after troubleshooting the familiar aspects. Then I have to turn to someone to remind me of the other steps.

Whats a good technique when you're getting stumped; to take a step back, and help redirect your perspective to get you back on track with making progress ?

Love you guys. help me! :P
