Avoid becoming too dependent on referencing easy/fast solutions online when you hit an annoying problem.

Avoid becoming too dependent on referencing easy/fast solutions online when you hit an annoying problem. I've found that it's extremely valuable to go through forced stretches of time where I won't allow myself to do quick solution look-ups using Stackoverflow et al., forcing me to work through more problems and keep improving. There is always some deadline to get some thing done, so it can be extremely tempting to turn to Google to quickly move on to the next problem. I think that's reasonable so long as you mix it up and make sure your skillset is well maintained.
