FYI I do currently think “learn when/how to use your subconcious to process things” is an important tool in the toolbox (I got advice about that from a mentor I went to talk to). Some of the classes of moves here are:
build up intuitions about when it is useful to background process things vs deliberate-process them
if your brain is sort of subconsciously wandering in a rut, use a small amount of agency to direct your thoughts in a new direction, but then let them wander once you get them rolling down the hill in that new direction
