I scribbled down a whole bunch of things earlier. That makes it
ridiculously easy to just chew through the bunch, writing a paragraph
or so on each point. I can edit it down to the right length and add
proper transitions later.

I don't think linearly. I can't sit down and write something from
start to finish. I jump around, I get distracted, I need to explain
things to people (or penguins)…
