I'm not a normal human, but I recurse. Nearly every problem I have to solve is effectively a tree strucfture that requires depth-first traversal (with some realistic alterations to make it more like A* and a directed graph). I often work down in some deep part of the tree and then when I finish, have to recall my stack and work my way back up towards my original goal. For example, for "create nanotechnology" I am currently on the "stitch images collected from my self-designed microscope into panoramas" and when that's solved I can pop back up to running "collect behavioral data from tardigrades" which will eventually allow myself to pop back up to "modify tardigrades to be cellular assemblers" and then I can work on cellular assemblers that assemble nanites. This has been a 30+ year structure and I occasionally get to pop the stack a bit.
