OP (and Duolingo employee #34) here. I can definitely relate to the frustration! It's been years since I've worked on the product side myself, but for what it's worth we do allow equipping up to 2 streak freezes now. I believ

You could say that. More concretely, it was a stressful first semester of college and I felt like adding more structure to my life would help.

Interesting approach! It'd be great to hear how it ends up working out for you. That's also a great point about NLP etc. I was kinda hoping that my "Average daily log entries" would show some kind of trend like that, b

Thanks for sharing - your story reads like a movie script! I'm lucky enough to not be worried about my health (yet) but maybe I should start tracking variables other than bodyweight. I'll definitely be coming back to your post for

Hmm I've always been hesitant to self-diagnose stuff like that, partly because it feels like potentially trivializing others' experiences. I basically see myself as a garden variety introvert. I suppose that in an informal sense,

OP here. Great question! I've never journaled or recorded emotional variables partly because that takes much more time and partly because they're harder to analyze. For example, I could record stress on a 1-10 scale. Do I just put

Author here! I do track my gym workouts and finances using other apps - I just figured that that's pretty common and less worth mentioning. Those are both very quantifiable, so it's relatively easy to measure progress. I'd pr

Author here. I certainly don't not track it! If you're wondering where it could appear in the charts, any one of the Sleep/People/Exercise/Other categories would seem a possible candidate...

1. For tracking purposes, I assume that I fall asleep immediately after putting my phone down. That's generally true enough, although sometimes I do find myself still lying awake and having to add a "Not sleeping" entry befor

Right, you certainly don't need to track yourself for 10 years to figure out how long a shower takes! A rough analogy: you can figure out from your HP bar how much damage you take from each hit, and it's probably worth doing so

Author here! I had searched around but didn't find any existing app that matched my requirements. A few that immediately come to mind: 1. I have sole ownership of the data 2. The data is stored in an easily parsable format (TSV) 3. Dup
