Thanks for the info. Did you get much chance to think about things during work hours, or was the job slightly too cognitively costly for real contemplation?
For me, at least, it was in that sweet spot of cognitive demand that allows for deep reverie, but is demanding enough that I didn’t become bored with just thinking.
Personally, I find I can’t slip into deep thought while just sitting on the couch, I need some kind of other stimulation to meet my optimal level of arousal. When I really need to think about something, I always wind up pacing, cleaning, running errands, playing minesweeper, etc.
Of course, this is after you get used to the job, which takes several days to a few weeks.
