Limiting my heavy thinking to my job [closed]
- by Robin Castlin
This might be a weird problem which is only to a half relevant to actual programming, but hopefully there are people here that knows what I'm talking about.
Basicly I'm proud of how I can deal with coding problems and fix them in short notice and many other aspects like building new systems and such. I'm fast on finding solutions and I often think about the impact my changes does to existing systems and so on, therefor preventing problem from arising at all and such.
I am simply happy with how my mind operates when it comes to programming and I wouldn't want to change it at all.
The problem, however is when I'm not programming. I find myself rather limited in social situations. I can't determine if it is through programming, but I sometimes think way to much about the consequences when it comes to being social. I know from own experience that most times you earn by not thinking about consequences, but it's hard for me not to.
Often my friends tells me "I think too much" and even though I agree, I can't seem to change this behavior. My brain wants to think, and it likes to overthink simple stuff.
Does anyone recognize the bad habit of not leaving advanced thinking at work, and in what way do you deal with it?
If this isn't a suitable place to ask this question, I apologize and hope you may point me to the right site.
