I've definitely been there fiddling around with abstractions or whatever. I guess I think you're really starting to get good when you see yourself doing that kind of thing and make yourself stop and figure out what the real goal is and how to proceed. E.g., maybe stop banging on the keyboard and draw a picture, work through an example, talk to the client, etc.
