record keeping
i chose Yes, I know roughly how much I've made or lost in the poll.
i do keep written records, however the question becomes, how accurate am i?
the idea of keeping records is a noble one, the record keeper and the analyzer of records is another question.
then there are practical obstacles, limitations with respect to keeping records.
the poll is also with respect to keeping records this year.
so the question becomes, what about years past or what about the future?
what if you want to change how you keep records?
what parameters are involved, what do they mean and do you really understand how to properly use the math and interpret it?
then there are all kinds of 'other' records one can tinker with.
but yeah, keeping records, a beacon of sorts, illuminating aspects of where we've been, where we are, where we want to go.
edit: like, what would one be interested in when asking about something related to 'risk intelligence'?
the question of record keeping when you think about it stretches way back in humane history, right back to cave art, lol.
the act of keeping records, i should imagine is a 'wisdom' passed down amongst generations through out the millennium.
just i know my parents drove the idea of "write it down" and "know what your spending" sort of idea's into my head.
i should imagine their parents did the same and so on.
