He said it takes one minute total, per day, using his app. Previously 10 minutes.

Just to share my experience, the time spent recording data often feels like it's worth it; there's a tangible reward that's more obvious after a while. At first it had novelty value but years later I recognize it as a distinct value separate from novelty. The act of recording by itself has a noticeable impact and anchors a feeling of self-control. (I use a sloppy tag-and-gather method though, not an app, which seems like it could be really fun to create)

To me it seems amazing to use just one minute. I guess I'm not that fast :)

I agree that logging is a great steering mechanism but I guess that you first must have a goal what you want to achieve.
