Do you know that situation when you have done something and go to bed and sleep, and suddenly during the night you just wake up and realized that what you had done is not the perfect? And you cannot fall asleep until you have solved that problem? Oh I know it. We are old friends with this situation! It started during the university…
But I don’t want to make you bored with events from the past. Instead let me tell what happened a few days ago.
First, you have to know how I work. Normally I work 6 hours during the day (while my son is in school) and 2 hours during the evening when there is peace and quiet.
So a few days ago I my mentors requested me some modification on the task I worked on. I was not a big deal. I implemented it during my evening shift. I tested a little and went to sleep happily with the knowledge I had done everything as I wanted.
Then at 2:30 am, my eyes opened, my brain wake up and started thinking. Ok, I realized, that I missed something. Let’s start figuring out how to solve it. It took a while, but I made it, only in my mind. Then I stored in a segment of my memory.
Next morning the first thing I had done was to write done my thoughts. Then I tried it, and it worked! Big clap for me!
