I feel the same way. I find tracking exhausting, because if I’m going to do it I want it to be correct, which takes a lot of effort. In some cases it’s not really possible to be correct, which causes me a great deal of stress if/when I try.

That said, some people are into it. This post from Stephen Wolfram is something I think about often. It’s cool to see, but not something I could ever realistically do. Kind of like the people who take a picture of themselves every day for 20 years.
