No, actually. Its a technique. I deliberately know that I have to stop working when a problem needs a creative solution. I remember roaming the halls at Teleco looking at this and that. A VP caught me wandering, gave a look at my distracted expression, and said "thinking, huh?" "Yup" was my answer, and we both passed each other with smiles. I sit and work long hours after I know what I want to do, not before. Simple problem solving, like debugging a program, or routinely analyzing data, can be done hours on end. True creativity cannot.
