On Journal writing : Get best from a book by writing it

Everyday many thought come to our mind and we forget them. Out of those thoughts there are so many which are worth noting down somewhere and use as a reference for future needs. We do many mistakes and forget them in some time, we learn nothing from those mistakes, so we don't improve and we will do same kind of mistakes in future again. How we can avoid such mistakes? How we can improve our decision? How we can improve our thinking? How we can improve our life?

There are many solutions for this kind of problems. out of those one is Journaling-Writing your thoughts on a paper or in a diary.

Maria Konnikova, in her book Mastermind , writes –

"The act of writing and speaking out loud your thesis forces you to slow down and catch those error that are invisible to your eyes. Your ear notes them when your eye doesn’t."

Carol Loomis, who has been editing Warren Buffett’s letters since last 40 years, writes –

Writing itself makes you realize where there are holes in things. I’m never sure what I think until I see what I write. And so I believe that, even though you’re an optimist, the analysis part of you kicks in when you sit down to construct a story or a paragraph or a sentence. You think, ‘Oh, that can’t be right.’ And you have to go back, and you have to rethink it all.

Even Warren Buffett observed – 

“Good writing clarifies your own thinking and that of your fellow shareholders.”

From Farnam street  blog:

In an interview with Michael Mauboussin, he offered one great advice:

The idea is whenever you are making a consequential decision, write down what you decided, why you decided as you did, what you expect to happen, and if you’re so inclined, how you feel mentally and physically.
