Another trick is to wait. First write the post or email, then leave it alone for a while. This makes it easier to change the point of view.
Somehow I also often find it easier to see possible improvements after I published something. I often edit when possible after posting. It is annoying, but it does have the some effect. Or if I write markdown, render it in some nice formatted view - that also helps to distance a bit.
