I'm good at a large part of my job because I played boardgames a lot.

Sometimes we have those little epiphanies in the shower.. sometimes they come from other places. This is a home for those epiphanies.
If it makes you feel better I'm having a good laugh when I hear my surgeon of a wife telling me how difficult hand eye coordination can be when not looking at your hands. A skill our kids mastered a few months after putting their hands on a console controller :,D Her colleagues tell each other to practice on console games!
Similarly, I'm realising lately that video games have given me abilities to evaluate trajectories, potential collision, to anticipate surprises around me, to filter of "noise" vs actual threats, etc... all skills which are vital to good driving.
Yeah. I've heard of studies that state improved hand-eye coordination from surgeons who play video games.
