I work in precisely the opposite way. And that's why journals have a massive downside to me. As soon as I write something down, I don't have to remember it. I could murder someone, write it in my journal, and everything would be forgiven and forgotten.

Its like making a list of things to buy at the grocery store. As soon as I write it down, I don't have to be concerned with trying to remember it. In the same way, as soon as I write something down in a journal, I forget about it.

If I did that, I'd never make any progress with my life. It's only by remembering and thinking through my life that I come to a mental conclusion. That's just how I work, I guess.

Same thing with note-taking.. it goes through my ear to my paper and I never remember it. If I listen and concentrate on learning, I do tenfold better.
