Yeah, but no matter where I go...

Interesting stuff. When I am functioning at a high level (unfortunately hasn't been that way at work for a while), I could get called in on a task and focus on it for a minute or so and then make some suggestions which usually turned out pretty well. On the other hand, in my personal life, I do agonize over things and double- and triple-think them to the point where I stayed up late thinking things over -- which never helped.

fascinating.

since i am no longer in the workplace, my razor sharp judgments and skills are likely gone forever.

there are no problems that overthinking and overagonizing wont make worse.

Definitely.

And yet, thinking is also a pure pleasure. So long as you're not thinking about your problems, I guess.
