Overthinking typically leads to the formation of abstract conclusions. Abstract conclusions are not actionable or correctable. Abstract conclusions look like: “I’m a failure.” “I’m a loser.” “Nothing ever works out.” “It’s all hopeless.”

Writing down your thoughts and challenging them rationally makes the ideas more concrete. When an abstract idea is made concrete, it becomes actionable: “I failed in this instance because I overestimated how much work my body can tolerate.” The next step is much easier to determine with a concrete idea like this.

I believe this is why the stoics practiced writing to end their day. Meditations wasn’t a book, it was a journal. Marcus Aurelius understood that the thoughts in his mind weren’t always helpful, so writing them down made them more concrete and allowed him to act more rationally.
