@kdfrawg There's always the argument that if you break any problem down into smaller and smaller parts, you eventually find the black and white bits.
I'm of the opinion now that you've lost the point/meaning of the problem if you go that far.
Hasn't stopped me from completely eliminating those attempts but they are less frequent and I am more successful at telling myself, "Whoa, Hoss", when I start.

@kdfrawg Just comes from repeatedly making the mistake of treating my life like I do my code.
As much as I'd like it to be true, everything cannot be broken down to binary/black-white.

@kdfrawg For me, I find it causes you to slow down and think more clearly. When you live by the keyboard, force things out at a rapid pace and live by line counts/stretch goals, you start auto-piloting.
It's fine for something logical and structured but my inner thoughts are anything but.

@sumudu I've been keeping them, infrequently, for 33 years. Just as things occur to me. Things I need to more fully process and put into perspective.

"Uncle Tom"
I'm pretty sure I'm going to train them to call me "Aunt Cat's grumpy husband".
Anyway, their Christmas gifts have been procured. Now I am going to move onto the part of my to-do list I ignore on Fridays.
@sumudu I've remained faithful to the paper thing so far. It's been pleasant.

Slogging through boring work code while my brain keeps peppering me with ideas for non-boring side projects.
It's Friday and we have no weekend plans so this is acceptable.
@larand My thinking is, aside from here and checking up on Randolph, Janie and a few others on Twitter occasionally, I don't need anywhere else.
Social media avoidance begun at the beginning of Election 2016 will be extended and indefinitely. Digging the peace and quiet.
Y'all are okay though. :)
