I like how daily writing gives me a chance to discover, externalise, and give structure to a nebulous thought that’s been floating around in my mind.
Another benefit is the habit of disagreeing with myself.
As the words move from my head and onto paper, my subconscious begins a sense check: do I really agree with what I’m writing?
Sometimes I’ll be halfway through a post when I realise I either disagree, or don’t believe as strongly, in what I’m writing as I first thought I did.
Richard Feynman once said, “You must not fool yourself — and you are the easiest person to fool.”
Daily writing can be a helpful tool to realise and recognise the gaps in our thinking.
