Perhaps these things apply at different levels. The difference between speech and writing seems to be at the sentence level: sentences that are grammatically incorrect or unfinished, filler words, etc. But the thing that gets organized in your head when you imagine talking to someone is the overall structure of the article: what do you mention first, what next, which examples to use, which tangents to avoid.
Transcripts of speech may look horrible, but it doesn’t take much work to polish them. The problem is when you write a grammatically perfect sentence, but then you don’t know what to write next.
So it makes sense to worry about the overall structure first, and the details later.
