Hi Up the Aces,

I think a lot of folks like to sort out their thoughts while walking - I do it, too, and find it helpful. I guess I usually just think while walking, rather than talk out loud, but that may be because I'm a pretty quiet person in general. I do see people talking out loud occasionally as they walk, so I am 100% certain you have company in this! I also used to work with a really wonderful woman who would think out loud as she was trying to solve problems in our office. Usually she would ask herself questions as she was figuring things out.... "Now, where did I put the account ledger?" or "Does the $100 belong in the office expense account?" for instance. She was a really wonderful person and she used to joke that when she answered her own questions out loud, then we should start worrying! But truly, it sometimes helped her problem-solve to say things out loud sometimes in her working process. She was a very nice, thoughtful, caring person - we all liked her quite a lot. Everybody has their own unique ways of working things out.

Take care,
