Well, I don't like this revelation. I mean I want to focus on other things when I come back home after work. Why does it have to loom over me all the time like some ghost? I need some work-life balance for Gods sake!

Please, notice this line: "But your higher level of consciousness was not aware of this work." So, it doesn't bug you all the time. But your brain keeps looking for the solution if a task at hand is important for you.
Sorry about that; automatic background processing is a major feature of the current HW/SW stack, and it is not about to be removed ;)

In other words, our neolithic brains aren't really wired for civilization - we need to learn that.
