Highly, highly important when traveling, even if that traveling is just in your own country. Journals can be on paper, by camera or on the computer. Whatever form they take, just make sure one is being kept. After taking a picture of some building, art piece or landmark, write down what it is, who made it, its purpose or history and where it lies and why. Of course, you don't have to do this for everything you come across, then you end up missing what is happening around you and the buzz of the city. Some type of medium is always perfect. I love reading what I wrote about different cities, especially my first impressions, they always seem to be so true and raw yet changed by the time I leave. Nothing makes me smile more than re-experiencing the adventures I had abroad.
