Why can I wire a simple line but freeze on a rough-in?

You can run a simple line without thinking twice. Hand you a complex rough-in, and something tightens. You stall. You second-guess. You wonder if you know this trade, or only the easy parts of it. Here is the truth: you already know the pieces. You do not yet have a way to lay them out. A rough-in is not one job — it is five smaller jobs stacked together. Try to hold all five in your head at once, and of course it feels like fog. No one works well inside fog. This is not a problem you solve alone. Your pod faces the same five pieces on every job. Build the breakdown together, and the fog lifts for everyone at once — not just you.
