Well, that describes what they call improvisations.
Then the third option is knowing exactly what you want but unable to get it instantly. You try this and that and you know what you have is not *the* thing. So you keep trying and improvising until you get to a place where you instinctively know "this is it!". It is in between knowing and not knowing. You know what you want but you do not know how to get there. You "waste" (?) or spend a lot of time and effort in the journey searching.
