When making any important decision, it’s always a good idea to review that decision, looking especially for cases of wishful thinking or other self-deception. Paranoia or Excessive conservatism can cause you to ignore potentially valuable options and opportunities. So, to the extent that I try always to undertake such a review before committing to a major decision, thinking about my thinking impacts my day-to-day decisions. Bout outside of this narrow interpretation, it’s more of a big-picture long-term thing. If you change what you are looking for, you might find different things – but that’s not a decision to be made lightly.

I frequently introspect, purely because I get good articles for Campaign Mastery from the practice. Analyzing myself and my techniques and thought patterns is a necessary step to articulating how I do things, and finding improvements on those techniques, and both of those can then be shared to help others.
