I've been thinking about something similar. There are a number of different items that help make up what I would consider to be a 'good day'. (this will vary from person to person)
1. Exercise - Did I run or bike?
2. Food - Did I eat healthy and moderate amounts?
3. Budget - Did I not spend too much money?
4. Personal work - Did I focus and spend my time wisely?
For me a 'good day' is doing well in 3 of those categories, and making up for any lapse the following day. A 'great' day is excelling in all 4 categories. (I get about 1-2 great days and 2-3 good days a week)
I've been thinking of building a simple pocket watch type thing that I can enter 'good' or 'bad' for a couple different categories. It then maintains a running balance that let's me know if I'm in the positive or negative overall, for the day, week, and per category.
My point being, a website that let's me know if I'm 'up' or 'down' would be cool, kinda like a highly inaccurate weight watchers, but more like 'life watchers'.
- ashishk 17y agoi love that idea. covers all the bases and keeps it simple.
- turtle4 17y agoUse the chain system to encourage long term behavior. Ie, each day that you do one of the items you note, you extend its chain by one link. Each time you miss a day, you break the chain and start over. Each day you score your chain score, not your daily score. Once you accumulate large chains, you won't want to break them!
