The brain has the ability to automatically fill in blanks of things you worked on due to knowing what it is supposed to say. Creating a bit of distance helps with finding them.

When I edit, I usually do one edit a day for three days.

It's definitely better than editing only once in a quick scan and then thinking you're done. But over the next hour your mind keeps reading over the chapter telling you things you could have done better. It's torture. Commit to it fully or not at all is my advice.

Ideally, a week long cool off would be best, but that isn’t very realistic.

I've read that changing the font or reading it out loud help too. Personally, my ideal would be to get someone else to edit it.

Depending on the situation, I feel it’s wrong to flat out give it to someone strait away. There are some cases where you realize what you wrote doesn’t make sense anymore. that’s something that the actually translator needs to address

I agree, of course it depends on the severity of the required editing.
