I've used this the past few years.

Writing things down is very helpful, but the real benefit is introspecting at the end of the year. You have a record of what you hoped to do, and know what you did, and can think about what worked and what didn't.

In my case, the contrast between what I thought I could do and what I actually could couldn't have been starker.
