The way I deal with that is by experimenting. Not taking the fastest/easiest route but instead trying to do something interesting.

There are some downsides to that of course. I mean, I am purposefully reinventing the wheel. Sometimes, it fails, and short term productivity takes a hit, but I consider it a long term investment. Because next time I see the problem, I know what not to do, and why.

This presuppose you are not at 100%, because you sometimes need to catch up with your mistakes, but since you are at 10%, that shouldn't be a problem ;) Being at 100% is a bad idea anyways, because you can't take a step back.
