If I'm focused on a topic, it takes a literal Herculean effort to switch the train tracks my brain is on. So much so that things that would only take 5 minutes go ignored until I can get whatever idea I'm fixated on out of my head. It's definitely lead to problems in my work and personal life (ask *anyone* who's worked with me how good I am about communication 😬) -- but I wouldn't be where I am in the amount of time I've been a professional programmer without this part of me.
