I've been wishing for clones for years, to offload some of the
  thinking to.

  Here's what I discovered that helped me; If I find people of
  similar mindset to me that are working on something that I am
  interested in or have been working on....

  I let the alternative "me's" keep working on it themselves, and
  my cognitive space is relieved to work on other novel things...
  until such time that I find someone ELSE working on those novel
  things as well...

  It's a HUGE help,- consider it.
