Writing gives me a great way to organize my thoughts. I've lost track of how many times I went to write something down and changed my opinion or was forced to dig deeper into something.

"X things always happens"

Hmm, does it actually always happen? What about if I try doing X+Y? What about....

And the questions go on. I feel like I take a lot of shortcuts in my brain or have established "facts" that don't hold up under scrutiny. It's the same idea as rubber ducking a problem, or for me when I get 2 paragraphs into a slack message and realize I've identified the problem and just clear out chat box without ever messaging for help.
