I used to waste hours just worrying about work problems without solving them, but this book taught me that real thinking needs concrete output like a specific plan instead of vague thoughts.

This book changed how I view my daily rumination. I used to think daydreaming was creative, but Saito shows it just wastes time without producing any real results or solutions.

Saito correctly identifies that passive rumination wastes time, using the Raskolnikov example to show how circular worry differs from thinking that produces tangible output like a plan or draft.

I related to Saito's story about spending a year daydreaming about a Freud-like theory instead of writing, which perfectly illustrates why rumination feels like work but produces nothing.
