The benefits for me to form a good writing habit:
- Practice mindfulness by writing
You have to think of something to write, when you start writing but can think of something. Most of these thoughts are self-reflections. You have to dig a little beneath the surface to uncover suppress feelings, anxious thoughts. It feels liberating when you acknowledged these feelings and let it go by writing about it. - Practice clear thoughts by writing
The thoughts in your head are a beautiful mess of unstructured neurons firing at each other. When you write you form a structure to your thinking that rewires the neurons. Practice this enough and unconsciously you will think differently about how you think. - Practice clear writing by writing
We live by communicating with each other, there is no other way around it. Written form of communication is a powerful leverage. Of course there is also miss-communication. Writing has limited bandwidth to show emotions, so you need to be able to write clear and concise to convey your thoughts. Your thoughts are unique they deserve good writing.
