I lean on my default mode network to find solutions and scrutinise my ideas.
This means that I avoid committing to important decisions until I've at least had a chance to sleep on them. The next day I normally have a lot more clarity and confidence in the decision when it's right, or what is wrong when it isn't.
I also don't stress if I can't find the answer to a problem. I try to keep the problem at the front of my mind but don't pressure myself to activally solve it. Very often, this results in what feels like an epiphiny, a shower thought, or the answer will come to me in a dream. Activally working to find those solutions would be difficult and success would be hit and miss, it's low stress and gives me space to work on something else in the meantime.
