That's interesting. I love thinking, and when I let go, it doesn't matter anymore, but I don't necessarily understand it more.

Usually when I have an issue, I'll pull up a text file and keep asking questions until the answer clarifies absolutely everything. Or, in cases where I need it, I'll create an outline, a step-by-step, or keep simplifying an idea until it's down to either a sentence or a couple words.

I guess it's not as much figuring things out as clarifying what I already know, which I think is what Illustro was talking about. Does that count as "figuring it out"?
