22/11/10 07:11 (UTC)I'm trying to track what I actually do do (including physical things that just happen, like hot flashes or headaches), to get a picture of what my life is really made of.
Then, from the more goal-oriented direction, I'm trying to motivate myself to do a few things more often, or more consistently (or less).
So there's tracking everything I eat, for instance (data), and there's also staying under a certain calorie count (goal). There's what tv shows I watch (data) and docking myself two points for every one I spend an hour of my life on.
I don't have it all clear in my mind yet, but I've experienced a sort of mental revolution just in the past few weeks with the idea of "the quantified self"--actually logging my life as a dataset, so that I can make specific, targeted improvements that are meaningful to me and don't waste a bunch of time and energy.
I especially like your relationship and laughter leaves: I need more of both in my own life and haven't figured out how to quantify them yet.
FWIW Joe's Goals, while not nearly as pretty as Mindbloom, might be more what you're looking for. I'm really liking it.
