What I currently track:

   - Hours of sleep per day
   - Calories burned per day
   - Calorie intake per day
   - Caffeine per day (mg)
   - Financial Portfolio performance every few days
   - Monthly spend on different categories (eg. food, housing, misc)
   - Squat, bench, deadlift numbers

What I want to track:

  - Water per day
  - Blood levels. I'd love to get bloodwork done very 6months to a year?
  - Books read (mostly so I read more)
  - Blogposts written
  - Code written? Whether its a personal project, random scripts, leetcode puzzles. Helps me realize if I'm doing what I want vs. spending my time elsewhere.

Definitely more I want to track. Love seeing everyone else's ideas.

Is there a personal utility to reading more arbitrarily, or do you have specific titles you're trying to get through? Do you find that these numbers are representative of what you actually want, or what you think you should want to spend your time on?

What do you spend your time on for fun (not tracked)?

I used to try and read a lot of my Pocket saved articles, but now have a different relationship with that. I find that I couldn't give two shits about any of the blog posts I've saved, and actually that it takes time away from things I'd rather do, like stare blankly at a wall or play video games. That's goes especially for something I ostensibly should inform myself of for a vague sense of self-improvement, but actually most knowledge is kind of a hollow pursuit unless I tie it to something.

I track water by carrying around a large nalgene. Easy to remember to drink 2 full nalgenes than 8 cups of water.
