Ask HN: How to get better at higher level thinking?

A couple times recently I have burned time doing the wrong thing. It's that thing where you step back and think about the bigger picture and have an easy solution.

How do you get better at that other than practice/over time?

As an example, I had to debug something, I spent a few days on it, someone else comes in and finds the solution within an hour.

If I can describe it as a tree/layers, they started at A and I was deep in the weeds of implementation in F.
