==== monitor and evaluate ====
For example "have I gotten enough exercise?". Compare achievement to goals. Most devices and apps are for this. Could train sense to degree that device is not needed. Like [[Mindfulness]]. For example, sensitize to physical signals to let body regulate weight and prevent overeating. Can lead to hypothesis.
==== debug a problem ====
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.
