Hi, I'm Bastian and I've been doing different forms of self-tracking ever since the first Fitbit came out. Since then I've tried to track a lot of different things and still do so!
Things I currently track
About my body
- Activity (with an Oura Ring & Apple Watch)
- Heart rate
- Resting heart rate
- Respiratory rate
- Heart rate variability
- SpO2
- Body temperature
- Calories burned
- Steps/Distance walked
- Sleep (with an Oura Ring)
- Total sleep time
- Sleep phases
- Sleep latency
- Weight (with a Fitbit scale)
- Blood glucose (sporadically, with a Freestyle Libre)
- Symptoms (with Quantified Flu)
About my mind
- Device usage & 'productivity' (with RescueTime)
- Time spent with other people (with Google Calendar)
- Media consumption:
- Books (with Goodreads)
- Music (with Spotify)
- Social media (restricted to Twitter)
About myself in the world
- Geolocation (passively with Overland on my phone)
- Air quality metrics (portable with a Plumelabs Flow & locally at home with a Netatmo)
- Weather (derived from geolocation data & Dark Sky weather API)
Nearly all the things I keep track of are collected passively without the need for me to actively engage in the tracking. The two main exceptions are keeping track of the books I read (Goodreads automatically logs ebooks, but physical books require manual logging) and the symptom tracking, which requires a single logging action per day.
Things I used to track
Mood
I've tried collecting data on my mood through a number of different mobile apps (e.g. Reporter, iMoodJournal, …) but never managed to get into a good habit of collecting the data
Food / Diet
At around 2012 I developed a quite good habit of logging my consumed food via the Fitbit app when actively trying to lose weight, but that habit effectively stopped once I had reached my 'weight goal'.
Personal Science projects I did
- Measuring the impact of different software applications on my stress levels
- How did the COVID-19 lockdown change my life? Also see slides of my QS Show & Tell talk
- I measured how my PhD writing period affected my body and also how I actually did the writing.
- Effect of smoking on my heart rate.
- How does seasonality influence the music I listen to?
- How I adjust my headphone volume in relation to environmental noise.
