I wonder if this kind of logging follows the law of diminishing returns. The most of the value comes from the actual process of writing down what you have been doing and having an overview of the past days and weeks, but the stats of what you did, let's say, two months ago, don't add much value. So, the actual value of logging is in the discipline of taking the time and logging. Which means that, people, who would most benefit from this, will never be able to do it -- they lack the dedication.

I think the act of paying attention to your behaviour is the value. That can come from writing it down yourself. But if someone else writes it down and then you review it say Sunday night, then I think the value is there.

Awareness is important but I feel this kind of self-logging goes really too far in terms of efforts vs results.

Some people might feel that they are not in control of their life even after a month of logging. Some that they should optimize every minute of their life for "productivity".

I suspect doing some introspection with help from a psychologist could be much more effective for both types.
