clear ideas
Thoughts without confusion
Clear ideas are thoughts or concepts that are distinct, well-defined, and easily understood.
The phrase often appears in philosophical and educational contexts, where clarity of thought is valued over vague or muddled thinking: She has clear ideas about what she wants from her career.
Clear ideas can be communicated without confusion and grasped without difficulty.
