I mostly concoct and go through a whole idea over days. Then I let the dysfunctional aspect of me break it down the way it usually does which roughly goes like this, "okay, that's a pretty stupid idea, nay, worthless one". Then I just wait. Days, weeks. If the idea returns, then I tell the critical side of me to shut it and pursue the idea fully. These are for big ideas. It's scalable for smaller micro problems, but I never truly observed it there since I do the programmer thing of making trade-offs.

I embrace the subconscious basically.
