In addition to Raemon’s suggestion, I would add that keeping a daily, personal, diary, if you haven’t already, is vital to the developmental process in understanding how to best organize your own thoughts. Or so I’ve observed.
Been doing that for years. My thoughts are still ill-organized. It’s something about how my brain works. Attention deficit plus a dearth of memory = I don’t have a bird’s eye view of my own mind, and I rely on intuition (trained on details I can no longer remember) to tell me what to think, after which I have to try to figure out why I feel that xyz thing is true (that is, what experiences in the past trained that intuition) before I can determine whether to trust it or not. Almost none of my cognition is rooted in any kind of analytical reasoning. I just have to make it look like it is in order to communicate with others.
If you constantly re-read past entries and try to improve on clarity, conciseness, and perceptive depth with every new entry I think you will eventually improve your writing skills. It just takes effort and persistence to do so, even on the days when self-reflection appear unbearably painful.
