One of the things I've noticed is that as I become more "talented" in
various areas, I think less in terms of what I *want* and more in terms
of what I can *do*. I think the work ultimately suffers for that, and
therefore I try to identify that tendency when it arises and work
against it. Has anyone else noticed a similar tendency?

I try to edit out what isn't relevant to the response, myself. Some
people don't seem to bother. I'm not sure why.
