It worked for me in the regard that it kept my mind firmly focused 
upon the topic at hand. By keeping the mental "words" going even when 
there was no real content, I kept the topic in mind and shut out all 
other thoughts, until I could continue building upon the topic 
content-wise.

The question is, again, if this means of keeping focused is conducive 
to the purpose of the exercise, or if I instead am cheating by 
forcing my line of thinking in this way. What I in essence am doing 
here to keep out distractions is making sure they cannot bypass my 
wall of mental noise repeating the topic, until I find content to 
actively pursue it again.

Could not this be likened to having a loud monotonous noise on, such 
as an air-conditioner, to drown out otherwise audible distractions?

Well met and thank you for your responses!
