"It provides a framework for solving hard problems by encouraging you to break them down into a series of smaller ones.

"It helps you focus on the task at hand by providing immediate context on what you’re doing. If you forget or become distracted, you can quickly get back to your train of thought.

"It helps you learn quickly. You can observe your method for problem solving, see what works and what doesn’t and make improvements."

Saying "no mention on how it would help, and what you would do with them after you write them up" feels inaccurate to me (although the observation about the lack of specific examples is correct).

To me it is an accurate description, as the author focuses on what he believes are the results while not presenting any tangible example or framework on how to get them.

In short, without any information on the "how" this blog entry boils down to a page and a half where the author states that he believes that writing down things he is doing in no specific way and following no specific method may help him in some way. Well, good for him.
