Why not try to refine what you have in your mind for a couple of cycles before putting it down to paper, or typing it out?
Mind likes to run in circles with scissors at both hands and hurt itself while trying to think fast. Teaching it to walk slowly results in clearer and more refined results.
In this age of keyboards, cloud computing and AI, we think being fast is better. We lost our patience, and want everything instantly. However, there are some processes which needs time.
Life is same everywhere. It makes the same trade-offs. Fast growing plants have less mass, they are less dense, and if they are edible, they're less delicious and nutritious.
However, hard woods, strong plants and nutritiously dense foods grow slowly. It's the same for ideas, and human mind.
When you let your brain draw circles on an idea, you start to prune its illogical parts. When you put a speed limiter with a pen, you force your brain to reconsider what it just said to you, and as a result, you get better, more refined ideas in less time actually.
I have written elsewhere. I design my programs, their architecture and algorithms on paper, with a fountain pen. I keep lab notebooks. This allows me to refine everything before hitting my first key on the keyboard. I iterate less, produce more. The algorithms I design come out already refined to a certain degree, and when combined with architectural knowledge, their first iteration come out performant and efficient.
Let me ask you the same question:
Why bang my hands and head to a keyboard while trying to solve a problem while I can solve it with a cup of tea, a nice pen and paper and create elegant code in one go and enjoy all parts of the process, and spend less time as a result?
> Fast growing plants have less mass, they are less dense, and if they are edible, they're less delicious and nutritious.
I suspect you made that up. Mint grows fast and tastes great. Watermelon grows super fast and tastes super great. And plenty of slow growing plants are plain inedible.
It is not even clear what you mean by "nutritious dense". But, my family used to grow both vegetables, fruits and even potatoes/herbs. Speed of growing and how nutritious or tasty they are does not seem all that much correlated to me.
> When you let your brain draw circles on an idea, you start to prune its illogical parts.
You will prune them even gaster and more reliably when you see own thoughts written.
Not that person, but because there is an option to use a keyboard and easily edit, reread, reedir and again.
As why go in circles in own head when I can be moving forward with keyboard.
