Daily Reflections for Better Self-Awareness in Fieldwork

I’ve been rereading Marcus Aurelius lately and wondering how his habit of daily reflections might apply to fieldwork. Jotting down thoughts at the end of each day seems like it could sharpen self-awareness, especially when dealing with unpredictable conditions or tough decisions. Has anyone tried something similar? Did it help you spot patterns in your work or improve how you handle challenges? Curious to hear if keeping a journal made a difference for you.
