Lately I listened to some talks of Jordan Peterson.

There is a lot to say about his work but there is always a recurring theme: take time to think things through.

And I believe in this time of constant distraction it is very hard to do this.

But when you do you order your thoughts and it becomes much easier to communicate your thoughts.



Can you point to a specific text/video of his, that particularly and concisely addresses this point?


Here are some:

He talks mostly about goals in life but I believe the principles are the same.

I find these videos to be what I experienced as typical Jordan Peterson ramblings. A clearly above average affluent, above average intelligence speaker, who goes off with what feels like very little preparation or direction. Does very little for me, specially when it comes to the specific topic of "taking time to think things through" that i was inquiring about (but also anything else, really).


Well in the second movie he explains what happens when you set goals without much thought.

It could be it is not your thing but I believe he has some authority when it comes to psychology.
