1/ Chose a career as a Data Scientist, which benefits from intense focus.
2/ All the thoughts and tasks that i get in my head, if tasks are small, i try to do some of them immediately. Otherwise, i write it down, and keep a sticky which i close at the end of the day.
3/ Am 40, I have a partner, who has slowly realized that i am different, and since the past few years she coaches me to do tasks i dont like (submit expense reports). I happily give her pocket shopping money in exchange.
4/ I take notes at every meeting, Notion is my tool.
5/ Switching off, what's that? I realize my teams think that i am a maniac, and my wife thinks am too obsessed. I help my team do things, and tell them i can come across as too hot, and they need to let me to know to backoff. I like to watch movies, and do take a break from time to time.
I can vouch for this. Anaconda is especially good for simulation/data stuff (based on the focus on which packages are included by default).
One pain point though: getting it to work with Sublime Text 3 requires you to set the `CONDA_DLL_SEARCH_MODIFICATION_ENABLE` environment variable to `1` on Windows.
Not a flaw of Anaconda: it just pays attention to how to with multiple Python installations on Windows.
