Some time ago, I started a bad habit of playing a "simple game" while watching TV. Based on current comments from Hollywood execs, this is not an uncommon combination. Of course, this means I do neither very well. I've been actively trying to stop this activity because it splits my attention -- something else that doesn't seem to be good to practice.

The alternative, be alone in your thoughts, seems not great at times. I also now realize that my day is optimizing optimizing optimizing and it is really hard to really relax and get rest that way.
Recently, I've got this feeling that many of the skills and habits I refined from my grad student days are now coming back to bite me, 10 years later.
