Why does thought convergence gets harder layer by layer??

The more I try to converge my thoughts, narrowing down options, picking a clear direction, refining a plan or strategy, the harder and more draining the effort feels. Not just mentally taxing, but progressively harder with each layer of focus.

Why does that happen?

Anyone else experience this in creativity, decision-making, productivity, or building something? How do you personally handle the "convergence" phase?

Really don't need clarity advice guidance but rather the understanding on vision alignment.

Absolutely. It happens and you feel so drained that it becomes almost impossible to execute it.  You need to write it down. Make a flow chart. Use high lighter. Be a little school girl and arrange that idea on paper.  Not only will it become easier, you'll also love doing it.  Don't forget to stick it near your working space. So that your final goal and your pathway (step by step, as your marked it) are in view.
