Self tracking is used for different purposes by various movements. Other movements have similar characteristics to Personal Science. Self tracking is most important for people suffering from chronic undiagnosed or sub-clinical problems. This section aims to mention them all. Use this page to decide if you want to self track, select the type and goal of self tracking and find a community that does similar things. See also [[Reasons for and against self tracking and quantification|Reasons for and against tracking]].

* [[Home Automation]] Automate everything in your house, eg so the lights shut off when you enter your car. While the goal typically is unrelated to self tracking many automation tools can record every automated change, thus providing a log of actions.
 
* [[Money]] ficial management. Somewhat like lifelogging and, when curbing spending, somewhat like habit improvement.

Look for triggers of [[Symptom tracking|Symptoms]] like headaches. Needs to be done via self tracking because, vague, sublinical, problem is rare or user is well outside bell curve. Find [[Communities|Community]] to get support and even push an idea like CFS into medical community. [[Experiment VS Observational study]] for experiment design.
