I think that is very wise and insightful. You might also use that second list while you are balanced and realize you are carrying fear or some other feeling that keeps you from deciding when you're at your best. Maybe it can help you to shift when you make decisions to a time you can be more comfortable with.
It reminds me of people who only have the courage to talk to a potential mate when they are under the influence. Something holds them back when they are balanced that needs to be addressed. Fear or rejection or whatever. Those fears are then disinhibited when they drink. In your case the mania might be working for you the same way a few strong drinks would.
