This is it.

Just toss down whatever you have. Once I realized you could start like this it was like the hurdles were all removed.

I work just like you say. Honestly, I think my beginnings are less a stream of consciousness and more a spew of garbage. Once you're done streaming or spewing, figure out what's next given the time you have.

Sometimes I stare at it. Sometimes I wander off and forget about it completely for a long time. Sometimes I do something else and come back to it. Sometimes I start a new document and try again.

Eventually it ends up something I can pass off sounding pretty decent. With some practice editing happens faster with fewer iterations. I've become better at knowing the audience too.

I won't admit to how much editing and rearranging and repeating the process this very comment took.
