I totally agree with this! It's more about talking through it and giving your brain a chance to think about it. We can mindlessly thump away thinking we will find the solution just by keeping at it. I do find it very hard to talk to my rubber ducky in front of others, an insecurity issue. So I lean on my coworker for my rubber ducky when at work. They come over, I explain my issue... "nevermind, I realize the solution now". lol. But I think Stumps is awesome!

I think my coworkers are now accustomed to be talking to myself, so they just ignore me for the most part now - haha! I do tend to whisper though, rather than speaking in a normal voice.
