What other specific metrics are important to you? Read straight through or skip to the sections you’re most interested in: How much do you read?Īre you prioritizing your physical health? I’ve decided I’m comfortable giving data to these particular companies, but that’s a personal choice. Before signing up for these apps, be sure you’re ok with their data sharing and privacy policies. Experiment with the ones that resonate most with your lifestyle, gadgets, and goals.Īn important side note: One of my criteria was to use only free apps, but you should keep in mind that when you’re using something for free, you are the product (though that often happens when you’re paying as well). This article reviews all the apps I landed on to track my metrics and covers how you can use each to gain insights that actually help you optimize and improve.
(You can see my 2017 Year in Review to get an idea of just how comprehensive it gets.) The result is a portfolio of tracking apps that work largely in the background of my life, or via habit at this point, collecting data to create a fairly comprehensive overview of how I actually spend my time, not how I think I spend my time. With that in mind, I looked for apps and tools to help streamline my “self-quantifying.” I knew it would be too hard to track everything manually, and the amount of time spent generating metrics compared to actually getting better concerned me.
I started my journey of self-tracking and continuous improvement in the beginning of 2017 to answer these questions and more.
