He mention about a product designer how he fights back against the human tendency towards habituation of having a tiny sticker on the fruit. The first time you had to find the sticker, dig it out of your fruit and flick it off your finger, it was pretty annoying. By the tenth time, it probably didn’t bother you as much, and by the hundredth time, you probably did not notice it at all.

Look Broader

There are often lots of steps leading up to the problem, and lots of steps after it. Looking at the whole process, start to finish, to identify problems that need improving.

Look Closer

Look Closer

Focus on the small details that make all of the difference. For example, agonizing over designing the perfect screw to make home installation as easy as possible. Though the process was time intensive. Instead a small detail can make a very big differences

cracking during the drop test. Hence that is call breaking the rule
