Been doing that for years. My thoughts are still ill-organized. It’s something about how my brain works. Attention deficit plus a dearth of memory = I don’t have a bird’s eye view of my own mind, and I rely on intuition (trained on details I can no longer remember) to tell me what to think, after which I have to try to figure out why I feel that xyz thing is true (that is, what experiences in the past trained that intuition) before I can determine whether to trust it or not. Almost none of my cognition is rooted in any kind of analytical reasoning. I just have to make it look like it is in order to communicate with others.
If you constantly re-read past entries and try to improve on clarity, conciseness, and perceptive depth with every new entry I think you will eventually improve your writing skills. It just takes effort and persistence to do so, even on the days when self-reflection appear unbearably painful.
