:D that's a start.

I used to have the same problem, but not when writing codes.

I love writing codes, and someday I was put in a lead/management position and the context switching between having to solve technical and managerial was giving me pain.

Then I allowed myself to make some mistake. Giving myself a sandbox to play in. That really helps.

At this point I'd trade having to manage over having to code.

Totally agree about context switching. I'm pretty much worthless at it.
