TL;DR It often takes me a bit to grasp what you’re pointing to.
Not because you’re using concepts I don’t know but because of some kind of translation friction cost. Writing/reading as an ontological handshake.
For example:
>How does task initiation happen at all, given the existence of multiple different possible acts you could take? What tips the mind in the direction of one over another?
The question maps obviously enough to my understandings, in one way or another*, but without contextual cues, decoding the words took me seconds and marginally-conscious searching.
* I basically took it as “How do decisions work?”. Though, given the graphic, it looks like you’re implying a kind of privileged passive state before a “decision”/initiation happens, but that part of the model is basically lost on me because its exact shape is within a meaning searchspace with too many remaining degrees of freedom.
>There are four things people confuse all the time, and use the same sort of language to express, despite them meaning very different things:
I think my brain felt a bit of “uncertainty what to do with the rest of the sentence”, in a “is there useful info in there” sense, after the first 9 words. I think the first 9 words sufficed for me, they (with context below) contained 85% of the meaning I took away.
>Whether you’re journaling, Internal Double Cruxing, doing Narrative Therapy, or exploring Internal Family Systems, there’s something uniquely powerful about letting your thoughts finish.
Strikes me as perhaps a plain lack of Minto (present your conclusion/summary first, explanations/examples/defenses/nuances second, for that’s how brains parse info). For the first half of the sentence my brain is made to store blank data, waiting for connections that will turn them into info.
Also reminded of parts of this, which imo generalizes way beyond documentations.
Dunno if this is even useful, but it’d be cool if you had some easy to fix bottlenecks.
Glad to hear! To expand on the : your ability to engage in “non-doing” is itself a thing that you can train to predict will go better if tried.
And thanks for sharing; any extra details you’d want to add about what makes it harder would be appreciated :)

Much appreciated! I made some quick tweaks to a couple of them, thanks :)
