Cue of not rationalizing: I find myself thinking new thoughts, hearing new ideas (if talking to someone else), and making updates I'm interested in -- even if they aren't about the specific decision I'm trying to make. The experience feels like walking through a forest looking around, and being pleasantly surprised by parts of my surroundings ("oh! maybe that is why clothes with buttons and folds and detail are more fashionable").
