Writing Makes You Think Better

Putting down in black and white what you are thinking gives you a clearer picture of your train of thoughts. Take out a piece of paper, or simply turn on your laptop. You’ll find that as you write or type, new ideas will come rushing in.
Sometimes you may feel unclear about something, such as an idea, a topic or an experience, and you may want to figure it out. One way to do this is to transform your thinking into words. Everything becomes clear when you explain it.
Many people decide not to write unless they have completely understood their thoughts. This actually stops them from advancing. Just scribble whatever comes into you mind on a piece of paper and you will see how the ideas come together gradually. This is called ‘thinking on paper’. You would not want to risk losing any of the brilliant ideas by keeping them in your head. Record them on paper!
When you are writing what you are thinking, you are actually outlining the logic behind what you think or feel. During this process, your thoughts will become understandable. In this sense, your brain is exercising its “explain power”.
If you want to learn something better, you can write down all your ideas and notes in a journal. For instance, when you need to solve a problem, you can write down what you can do to tackle it. You don’t need to worry when you have no idea, you can just write down anything you think of, and make an explanation. Thinking on paper is really workable.
Writers are also doing the same thing. They learn as they write. You may think all writers have thoroughly studied whatever topic they are writing on before they even start drafting their first chapters. The truth is, writers often write a book on a particular subject because they cannot make sense out of the matter.
I know I have always believe in the concept of how writing helps one with his or her thinking. Now that I almost reach the end of this article I am writing, I actually understand it a lot better than when I started typing.
Some people do not like writing a book or an article. What I want to tell you is, you can just write something, it is not necessary to write a lot. Such as, if you learn something new, you can just write a letter about it to friends, and you can understand it better too! If you want to invent something, just write an explanation of the problem, and why it worths solving. You will discover more during your writing process. Do have a try in writing when you are thinking!
