for those of us who aren't Te masters, it's a good place to start - even if it sounds boring.
but if you're a non-Te dom/aux completely uninterested in outputting logically while not under pressure, then are you really going to be able to adhere to primarily Te only and output logically when under fire? i totally agree with what you're saying, but easier said than done when it's not something you've honed over the years. if someone told me to hop up to the plate and use some Ti under fire i'd die of laughter. i'd end up using Fi and i know it. my level of Ti blows way too much to even consider that yet.
external categorization and organization systems are Te, even if you find them boring. writing does happen to be an action, even if it's not cinema-worthy. if that's not someone's personal choice on how to work on improving Te, that's fine, but it's no reason to write it off (write, ha ha), either.
I'm sorry, but what you are describing isn't Te. While it is true that organising your thoughts can be useful before making a decision, that's not an extroverted function opperating. The attitude is introverted. Specifically, it's a rather introverted sensing approach, making sure that you know everything that is going on before you make a decision.
Te is more than just making a decision, it is the urge to act upon it. It is in that action that Te develops. No extroverted function can be developed by sitting around thinking about stuff. They are doing functions, so to exercise them you have to go out there and do stuff.
