For me its often a matter of the requirements. Sometimes I'll be given a set of requirements and as I'm reading, the layout just comes to mind. In these cases, sketching is entirely unecessary as I already have a thorough idea of where everything should be in my head.
However, if clarity isn't quite there, getting objects down on paper or on a whiteboard often helps the process along of brainstorming. I find the sketching process to be particularly beneficial for workflow and getting past conflicts in what I have already perceived in the design. Things become more clear when they're on paper. Good luck! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
