To be honest, making an error with pronouns once in a while doesn't affect writing too much. But when pronouns or anything else is consistently incorrect, it makes the writing difficult to understand and tends to give the reader the impression that you may not know what you're talking about, since you don't know the basic grammar.
If using pronouns correctly is a problem for you (we all have our own difficulties with English grammar) and you are required to write an essay, thesis, or business report then the best course of action is to be aware of your problem and keep a simple guide to pronouns available when you write. See the link below for an easy to understand guide.

What are three trouble spot in pronoun use?
Ambiguity: Using pronouns without clear antecedents can confuse the reader about who or what the pronoun refers to. Agreement: Pronouns must agree in number and gender with the nouns they replace.

Academic writing standards generally condemn the use of first and second person pronouns such as I me my you and your Why do you think this is the case?
Both first and second person pronouns have an informal tone of voice. With first person pronouns, the writer is referring to herself directly ("I did this" "my reason is"). And while an informal tone of voice isn't in any way "wrong" or "illegal," it often doesn't match the writing situation. Most students are not being asked to write personal narratives; they're being asked to write arguments, often researched arguments, in which personal stories are subordinate to actual researched evidence. Of course, if the student decides it would be effective to include a personal story as well, then first person pronouns are appropriate for that section of the paper.Second person pronouns are even more problematic. If a writer uses them, the writer is now speaking directly to the person reading the paper. Again, that's fine in a letter or email, but it usually doesn't match the writing assignment scenario in a classroom. The student isn't writing directly to a teacher ("when you look at the stars...."); the student is writing for a broader audience that includes the teacher, the other students, and any other reader who is interested in the topic. So an academic writer who uses "you" is often mistaken about who his audience is.
