====Is it worth doing?====
[[Reasons for and against self tracking and quantification.|Reasons for and against self tracking.]]

Get inspired by [https://wiki.openhumans.org/wiki/Category:People Category:People].

Or people on biohackstack.com.
====What are your broad goals?====
Ex. improve productivity.

Self tracking disambiguation.
====How will you design the project?====
Read Gary's new book with advice like '"overreach is tempting, especially when the topic of concern touches on unresolved controversies in health science" and "the most important tool in the personal science kit is not hardware or software but a written log of notes and reflections,".
====What are you specific goals and how will you measure them?====
Ex. improve focus. Measure by looking at number of distractions using ActivityWatch. Exosenses.

====How will you get the data into one place?====
Hopefully [[Open Humans]] will have an aggregator for each tool you use.
====How will you visualize and analyze the data?====
[[Visualizing your Data|Visualize]] Start learning to analyze by reading [[Experiment VS Observational study]].
==Advice on first project<ref name=":0">https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/self-tracking</ref>==
*First project should be a brief, trial run.
*Do not overextend; not too long tests or too much tracked
*Write symptoms as closely as possible to your consequential real experiences. [[Issues with Self Report]]
*Curate with support of time, location, [[Lifelogging]].
