sounds legit! Do you use a similar solution for a more structured data that you want to track overtime (and potentially analyze later)?

At the moment, not really, I don't have much manual structured tracking. I do use Obsidian+SyncThing for journaling (Although it's still not 100% the perfect solution), and I use hashtags for structure pretty heavily. I have a Garmin watch that tracks heart rate, steps, and sleep, a Bluetooth scale, and my toothbrush can track when I brush and for how long, I'm pretty big on buying the smart version of everything, unless it's basic functionality would stop working if the cloud shuts down. The main analysis I do is failures. I've learned that for me, practice does not make perfect, and any mistake I make will almost certainly happen again without focused attention, so my #mistake hashtag has been very helpful.

  Cool idea, and super interesting! Way to go on the diligence! I'm curious how often (and how) do you follow up on these. also if you feel comfortable sharing- what other hashtags do you use? can you give examples of things you put there?

    I usually have a hashtag for every subject I'm interested in, if I should happen to learn something new that day, plus a few others like #dream. Sometimes I even think about building a new custom notes app, that's purely just a Facebook Messenger window with yourself, with search and a hashtag list, or switching to logseq. I usually follow up on mistakes by looking for patterns and... generally just avoiding the conditions that led to the mistake entirely. Like, one of my personal rules is "There is no later". I try not to rely on memory for anything important, I assume the concept of remembering something later is only accessible to computers and sticky notes.
