I have a spreadsheet that I use for some simple things. The problem for me is that I suck at recording the data. I try to solve that by making the data collection passive (or observant). The GPS comment above is along the same lines.

Examples: RescueTime for tracking my productivity on my computer. RunKeeper for tracking my exercise (running). Withings scale for tracking my weight. Spending via Mint.

Gaps: Food intake. Non-computer work. Time spent with my kids.

The ideal product for me would be one that integrates with the passive data collection services I use already, finds ways to make the collection of the gaps as painless as possible, and then finds correlations and such.
