As you spend a lot of years in your career, you would be working on preparing and discussing plans, making choices from the available options, reviewing others’ work products and monitoring progress of plans. When I think I am becoming too strategic and too managerial, meaning not doing much myself, I pull myself back and try to go down to lower level, meaning do something myself. Ideally it would mean going all the way to the bare metal level on the computer, but having spent almost all my career in commercial / business application programming, I rarely venture even into the operating system code. But doing stuff with Java, is surely well within the realm of my fluency.
