==Introduction to topic==
This '''List of interesting self-tracking results''' links to results of a self-tracking experiments that are both non-obvious and (at least potentially) actionable.

List links to results of a self-tracking experiment that are both non-obvious and actionable.
  
Examples that should *not* be on this list would include:

== the list ==
* Quitting Smoking Makes Me Cough Less
 
* Eating more fruits and vegetables makes me healthier
 
It should be noted that just about every [[:Category:Projects|Project]] has produced an actionable result for the individual self tracker (e.g. conventional wisdom testing, finding optimal doses) if not a new idea for humanity as a whole and are important and valid contributions to personal science.

== The List ==
 
'''Allan Neuringer's''' '''-''' Self Experimentation 1981 paper<ref>quantifiedself.com/blog/self-experimentation/</ref> describes tens of experiments that he and his students performed. It also includes a summary of Altman's 1972 paper on Auto-Experimentation.<ref>10.1056/NEJM197202172860704</ref>  " At least 185 investigators in four continents have served as subjects in 137 experiments over the last four centuries."

Butter slows by 28ms. Feeling great improves speed by 12ms. Together pracetam and choline counteract the effects of butter. Gluten, whey, lactose, krill oil, and music didn't do anything to Winters. Music made these tests much more fun for him. Acetolocarnatine did a bit on one test. Creatine helped especially on coding test. Walking desk helped a little bit.

Most talks in [[:Category:Projects|Projects]] focus on a small section of possible variables to track and a few sturdy results, including those above. There are the "data dredging" or "fishing expedition" projects which try to track many different aspects of a person and give lots of little advice and can be very useful for exploratory work.
 
  
Examples of these types of projects are:

Examples that should *not* be on this list:  
  
* The [https://dailyvis.com/posts/self-analysis-with-my-quantified-self-data/ DailyViz blog], which gives an example of finding all relevant correlations in a large, personal self-tracking data set. The blog post show the interactive analysis of their data with some surprising results. The notebook WAS  [https://dailyvis.com/vis/compare/demo/ available].

* Quitting Smoking Makes Me Cough Less
* A [https://old.reddit.com/r/QuantifiedSelf/comments/bf73ql/i_tracked_everything_i_ate_for_the_last_year/ reddit post on tracking every food item consumed over a year] and the lessons learned
+
* Eating more fruits and vegetables makes me healthier
* Another [https://old.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/v6cdht/oc_my_habit_correlations_updated_with_6_months_of/ reddit post of time and activity tracking correlation] over 6 months in the form of a graph.
 
* A [https://old.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/r4upsc/oc_my_gf_and_i_tracked_the_effect_of_10_different/ post on the effect of 10 different interventions on sleep quality], done using the [[Bearable App]]
