    Thinking is attention directed at a thought, then at another thought, and so on. Thus a “train of thought”.

    This movement of attention is usually guided by habit, sometimes by reason, sometimes other ways.

    Getting a better handle on your attention would naturally lead to getting a better handle on your thinking.
