> that I don't think about it quite that positively.
I don't think about that in a positive light, it's just factual information that helps me understand the shape of the problem. It's about recognizing that the places my focus goes to aren't random and arbitrary — I've never gotten stuck on, say, the intricacies of tap dancing, because I have little to no interest in tap dancing, and no reason to care. I did get stuck on knitting for a short while because I bought some pattern books as a gift for my mother, and had a peek inside — I _wanted_ to have a peek inside, what I didn't want was to lose a few hours to it.
