Hi, I'm Bastian and I've been [https://tzovar.as/quantifiedself/ 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
** [[HRV (Heart Rate Variability)|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 tracking|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'.
