I always liked logging my actions to see what's really going on. I think the most common one I do every few months is tracking my diet for a few days to see what bad habits I've picked up and where I need to improve. The first time I did it I realized by protein intake was way too low and that's why I wasn't seeing improvements in working out. It also enlightens me into how sodium filled so much of the food I'm eating is and helps me plan around those. Same goes with tracking time spent on "human function" as the author described it. While I intentionally try not to be super anal about how much time I spent on certain activities, I think it's almost like a game to make the boring stuff as efficient as possible. As I've added more steps to my daily routines, I've also found ways to keep my time spent reasonable and make certain things asynchronous. Perfect simple example is doing the dishes during idle cooking time. My roommates don't do this and it boggles me. Also, making those boring moments more exciting is always a plus. Music or a podcast in the shower and kitchen goes a long way, at least for me.
