What are you tracking about it, exactly?

  Well, there's an android app I used called SleepBot that graphs movements made in bed, can record sounds made at night (to learn about snoring, or sleep talking, etc) and then graphs all this stuff out over several days. It shows you amount of sleep, time of sleep, etc. Anyways, I ditched this particular tracking app because I found a better alarm somewhere else. While I used it though, it was interesting to see how terrible and uneven my sleep graphs were. It motivated me to tackle my sleep hygiene with more effective methods. The real benefits I've seen from tracking thus far are time tracking g. An app called Goalist forces me to account t for every 5 minute block of time. Upon seeing the pie chart after a few eeks of diligent tracking, the amount of that pie that was taken up by "relaxing/idling" and "video games" totally disgusted me. I have now moved into a more effective use of time, I'm making sure those big slices of free time are taken up by educational stuff and coding practice. Visualizing these hidden factors in my life make them so much more palpable and easier to change!
