I’ve been doing this for a while, mostly because I’ve had so many insights that I’ve managed to forget them again. The benefit of loose principles (as opposed to concrete rules) is also that they are less limiting.
Societies rules are often more limiting than they’re helpful. The same goes for trauma and insecurity. People have a tendency of learning what not to do until they find themselves in a prison which doesn’t allow for any movements or actions. Such people tend to harm even their personality.
I recommend internalizing everything which truly help you, this is a step above remembering. Of course, one should do away with insights which overstay their welcome. Flexibility is vital. Speaking of principles, have you read Og Mandino’s 10 scrolls? (from The Greatest Salesman In The World).
Edit: May I ask if your method keeps the “insight” feeling alive? I thought the feeling goes away naturally as you get used to the insight, but it may just be that I lost my connection to the thoughts which lead to the insight initially

It does keep them alive—my guess is that the reviewing method I’m using anchors them in reality
