Introduction to topic

List links to results of a self-tracking experiment that are both non-obvious and actionable.

Examples that should *not* be on this list:

  • Quitting Smoking Makes Me Cough Less
  • Eating more fruits and vegetables makes me healthier

It should be noted that just about every Project produced an actionable result for the self tracker if not a new idea for humanity as a whole. Most found which parts of the conventional wisdom applied to them more than others.

The List

Nick Winter - A Lazy Man’s Approach to Cognitive Testing

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.

Seth Roberts - shows that walking 60 minutes per day improves his blood sugar.

Observational, Many variables
