Practically speaking, when you want to subject your thought to analysis, you have to ask many questions of logic, context, and integration. Did I establish the context? Did I assume too much? Does my argument really hold water? Does this point follow from the preceding? Is this the best wording? What are my key points and how do they relate to one another? Can I see other connections among my points? Is my knowledge really certain or only probable? You cannot hold all this in your mind. The way to do it is to get some ideas and an organization written down.
