This is a nice list.
Some things I've used at various points in the past for specific goals:
-My fitness pal for tracking food
-Spreadsheets for tracking workouts. I found it worked easier if I just listed everything I was going to do weeks in advance and just cross it off as I did it, vs writing it down as I did it
-Tiny but gmail keyboard shortcuts - makes sorting and going through email a breeze.
-Back again chrome extension. When you land on a page it tells you how many times you've been on it that day. Useful for curbing the HN and reddit habit.
That's it!
- sseveran 9y agoI use Strong for tracking my lifting as opposed to a spreadsheet. Found it to be good for at least my style of working out.
- gxs 9y agoI got you - I'll take a look. My main issue with apps and even paper notebooks is every time you go to the gym you have to take an action. If I lay out a schedule for 6 weeks with exactly what I'm going to do with dates, all I have to do is cross it off. And if I don't remember to cross it off, it's fine because I can just go by the day. I found I was much more likely to stick to a long program when I did that vs logging it the old fashioned way.
- varl 9y agoI recommend and use this log system where you only have to take an action when you beat your rep range: http://exrx.net/WeightTraining/Log.html http://exrx.net/WeightTraining/Log.html
- sseveran 9y agoYeah. So with Strong I have all my workouts dialed in with set plans, weights, etc... I like the analytics. I also have some alternate workouts, for instance if I am hurting from Jiu Jitsu I do just a mobility workout. But hey, if you like paper don't let me talk you out of it.
