Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• The perfect idea arrives crystal clear and I think "no way I forget this"
• There’s a tangled decision with too many moving parts to hold in my head all at once, and I feel pushed to just call it now and be done
• In those rare lit-up moments I suddenly see exactly what matters and what I should change
• It’s late, I’m wrung out, and I’m trying to force a decision tonight when my brain is clearly done
• The answer hit me so clearly mid-walk that I was sure I’d never forget it
