I'm kind of an overthinker and as a result sometimes a procrastinator. I recently took a long break from work and ended up working on "my dream software platform".

I'm still processing what I've learned from that experience but perhaps one of the important things I've learned is that even when I think things through I make similar mistakes to the ones I do when I'm stressed out. And I think that has made me more efficient because I can kind of shrug a bit at things I know are hard to get right on the first try.
