Do you do any personal tracking?

qualitygal — Fri, 12 Jan 2024 14:19:31 GMT

I may track a few more things this year for the heck of it. I'm into planners.

I do daily, the weather/time/sunrise. It's fun for me.

Do you track?

I don't use a planner, but I love using Excel spreadsheets to keep track of things. I've purchased a lof athletic-type clothing from one company and track my likes/dislikes.

I also used a Word document to post photos and descriptions of some of my pearl jewelry pieces.

@qualitygal I track when the hummers come and go each year. I also track when ice forms on the lake and when it leaves in Spring. I track my first and last swim of the year in the lake as well.

I have almost two acres of gardens so I track plantings of shrubs and trees as well. For the house, I keep a record of all major changes (new roof, new shed, new deck, new patio, etc).

I guess that makes me the official log keeper of the home.

Track? Not sure what you mean exactly by "tracking." But no, I don't do it. I do record what I eat daily to be sure I get all my needed nutrition at my advanced age, but I don't keep a day to day count of it that would be tracking I guess.

I don't write down info but I follow weather-my area and my kids, horoscopes (don't believe a word of it ),

'water levels in NYS reservoirs.

I do track my weight and my blood sugar daily.

I just jot down on a calendar where I HAVE BEEN that day.

I watch too many crime shows(!!!)

I haven't used a planner since I got my first smart phone ten years ago. I don't track things just for the sake of tracking them. I track what I eat because that's crucial for weight loss and my health. I track my weight and blood pressure weekly.

I track health markers like BP and glucose and lately expenses in spates.

I record in a small daily planner/ephemeris the first night/week when the temp. at midnight drops below 89 degrees, the day when I turn on the heat pump's AC and the day I turn it off and what the indoor and outdoor temps. were that day, first time in "winter" when I can go outside in the morning and see my breath (some years it's been never.) When I first wake up in the morning, I record my resting heart rate and the ambient temp. as measured at the NWS station.

It's also helpful to note when I changed out the heat pump's filter.

@Sooner Tracking, just for my being clear, in the journaling, would be like, are you drinking your 8 glasses of water each day for instance. I do more tracking of weather type of stuff. Like temp, sun rises, like now, my little meter shows snow and it's snowing at 5 mph out of the East. That's all it is.

This is funny, when I first saw this thread I immediately remembered when I was a child my grandfather and I would walk in the woods behind my grandparents house. There was a creek and we would frequently see animal tracks where the animals had been drinking water. I remember my grandpa would say "that is a possum track" or whatever. Haha, so have had done tracking in the past, but not the type you mean!

I use the Lose It app on my phone to track my water, protein, and carbs. I also use a planner to keep track of my work meetings, appointments, and note things. I also use Outlook for my meetings and appointments. And my iPhone. I guess im a little OCD that way. 🤷‍♀️

@qualitygal - When I first read the title, I thought you were talking about tracking someone's whereabouts - like placing a tracking device on their car.

To answer your question, I don't do any personal tracking.

Ditto! - The only "tracking" I do is when I've ordered something online (LOL)

@monicakm Duh!

I could have been doing this all along, right? I'm always open to these kinds of suggestions. Thank you.
