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

• The instant a workable idea surfaces I grab it and we stop looking
• I come up with three or four obvious options, one of them seems fine, and I just grab it
• I grab the first idea that pops up and start poking holes in it immediately, so I never get more than two or three options on the table
• I stop brainstorming the moment I have a few decent ideas, satisfied too early
• I grab the first decent idea that shows up and run with it, because it seems good enough and I’m impatient
