Writing is stressful. Sitting in my computer chair my neck and shoulder muscles almost immediately tense up as I dig around in my brain for the best phrase or even any coherent string of words.

I say this in part, I confess, because I have always been and will always be, I hope, a terrible note taker.

    Actually, thinking leads to writing and writing leads to thinking. It’s not a one-way causal relationship. There is a positive feedback loop, when all is well. Until the thinking and writing collectively leads to exhaustion, at which point it’s time for a break and come back at it another time - maybe another day, after a good sleep.
