The Simple Solution for Sustainable Progress:
TRACK SOMETHING

we are inundated
with tracking. From steps to calories and watches to pedometers, tracking is everywhere. So why should we track something? And what do I mean by ‘something?’
By something, I mean anything. I know, I'm getting very abstract here.
Usually when we talk about tracking, we think about our food intake, how often we exercise, or even wearable devices like Whoop Bands and Apple watches (among others in the billion-dollar wearable industry) that monitor sleep, physical outputs, recovery, and more.
But we could also track something like the number of steps we take in a day. I know I’ve done that. When you are aware of how many steps you get and always try to hit a number, you’re going to take more steps than if you’re not tracking steps. Why?
Awareness.
