| For last 223 days i have keep track of: - Consumed food (weight, calories, fat, carbons, proteins, salt). - Budget (detailed, every product in separate row with 5 tags). - Weight (daily). - Time spend on every site. - Time spend on games. - Sleep and steps by smartband. - Over 20 habits like hygiene, keeping away from soda drinks. - What i have done at work with minute accuracy Everything except smartband and browsing stats is tracked by three spreadsheets. One thing: Tracking some of habits can be two edged sword. It can push you to do things you do not want to do. |
- I track my computer usage with RescueTime and my Chrome history. - I track my non-cash spending using Mint. - I track my sleep, steps, and heart rate using a smartband. - I track my food and cash spending by taking pictures (item and receipt) - I track my time by completely filling my Google Calendar (rounding to the nearest 15 minutes). - I track everything else using a timestamped journal app.
How much work does it take you to track all of this? I'm especially interested in how you track nutritional values, as I've tried MyFitnessPal in the past but quickly gave up.
I'm looking for ways to automate/delegate/facilitate my tracking process. I think this is data everyone should know about themselves, but I can't recommend most people to track all of this because it takes too much work.
