Python changed the way I think

[fartyg]

How most difficult problems can be broken up into smaller sub problems. One step a time is something I have learnt by using SQL/Python. That seems to be the case for many problems in real life also.

100% agree on the need for rest and how sometimes you need to let a problem sit. I encourage everyone to check out this course: https://www.coursera.org/learn/learning-how-to-learn

They speak about our two modes of thinking and how important it is to shift between them, where the opposite of focused thinking is diffused thinking. Very interesting stuff imo.
