Describe almost anything you are working through and IX Coach finds the practices whose real-world fit is closest. For I Move From One Idea to the Next at My Own Pace and Barrel Right Past the Seams Where People Actually Fall Off I Ask Make Sense Get a Polite Nod Push on and Only Later Realize I Lost Them Three Steps Back at a Turn I Never Paused for, these are the strongest matches in the current practice library.

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

• I move from one idea to the next at my own pace and barrel right past the seams where people actually fall off
• I get going on something with a lot of steps and then stall out partway because the next move is fuzzy, and every time I sit down I have to figure out where I even was before I can do anything.
• I get these half-formed ideas that feel like they could be something, but I either jump on them too early and they fizzle into the obvious, or I lose them entirely
• When I’m explaining something and hit a spot where I get vague or hand-wave past it, my instinct is to tell myself it’s just a wording problem and keep going
• My learning seems to die at the same spot every time
