Great to hear we resonate!

This is a valid point, I kind of admit these are sort of first-world problems. But my main motivation for raising this issues in the first place is to learn better, process information more effeciently, have better memory, and this is something I wish to use to work, learn and reason about things that really matter, like climate change or solving poverty, etc.

Regarding tracking less -- I guess people are different, I do know people who are happy to just stick to 'move more, eat less'. For me personally such maintenance is boring, and looking at stuff like workout/sleep data etc really motivates me to learn more about it and keep going. I really hate going for another run but at least I'll have a datapoint after it!

I feel like the actually stressful bit is having to think about tracking. If it was done automatically and you didn't have to think about it, then why not? You'd always find people who are obsessed about doing (or not doing) things even without counting I guess.
