Someone tracks seven daily health habits with ticks and crosses, then updates a spreadsheet each month. They wonder what would happen if they stopped, comparing their effort to people like Josh Bridges and Paul Saladino who seem to track effortlessly.
Every day I track each of my 7 foundational health habits with a tick or a cross. That's alcohol, sleep, protein, caffeine, water, steps, and whole foods. And that's just the day-to-day. There's also the admin of creating a new physical tracking sheet each month and also updating the monthly spreadsheet tracker at the end of the month. So yeah, it definitely requires a little bit of upkeep, both daily and monthly. Now with all of that said, like anything, once you get used to it, it just becomes a way of life. So in the grand scheme of things, whilst it might appear that there's a lot going on on the surface, it really isn't a big time sink. But look, it's still a thing, and it's certainly not as natural or as effortless as I see with Josh Bridges and Paul Saladino. So all of this has me wondering, would life be nicer if I didn't track them at all? How would that feel, and how would it pan out for me?
