We use numbers when we want to tune up a car, analyze a chemical reaction, predict the outcome of an election. We use numbers to optimize an assembly line. Why not use numbers on ourselves?<\/p>\n<p>But I soon realized that an emphasis on efficiency missed something important. Efficiency implies rapid progress toward a known goal. For many self-trackers, the goal is unknown. Although they may take up tracking with a specific question in mind, they continue because they believe their numbers hold secrets that they can\u2019t afford to ignore, including answers to questions they have not yet thought to ask. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Bei mir zumindest stimmt das. Ganz besonders interessant finde ich auch das hier:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nWhile Galanis acknowledged that he gets pleasure from gathering data and organizing it intelligently, it was a different aspect of his report that caught my attention. \u201cI know that immediately after watching a bad movie I am more apt to be negative about my career prospects as a filmmaker,\u201d he wrote, explaining that tracking has made him better able to detect the influence of seemingly trivial circumstances on his mood and decisions. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Ich selbst habe dank meiner pers&#246;nlichen Datensammlungswut schon festgestellt, wie sich Gewichtsab- und zunahme, bestimmte Musik oder Kommunikation mit bestimmten Menschen auf meinen Gem&#252;tszustand auswirkt. Auch die Wirkung von Nikotin und verschiedenen Alkoholsorten auf selbigen kann ich relativ gut beurteilen. Ich weiss ausserdem, dass ich bereits &#252;ber einen Monat meines Lebens in Mittelerde verbracht habe. Interessant ist das auf jeden Fall, die Erfassung von Daten kann einen deutlich weiterbringen, als man zuerst meint.<br \/>\nOhne Weight Watchers Online mit dem relativ strikten Framework h&#228;tte ich beispielsweise auf ewig gedacht, es w&#228;re schwierig, abzunehmen. Dabei muss man sich nur an eine einzige Grundregel halten und es fluppt. Ohne Daten im Hintergrund vertut man sich nur schnell. &#8222;Ach, ich hab ja kaum was gegessen&#8220; mag zwar gef&#252;hlt stimmen, aber in Wirklichkeit ist man kalorientechnisch &#252;ber seinem Grundumsatz. Oder andersrum muss man ab und an noch eine Kleinigkeit zu sich nehmen, um vern&#252;nftig zu funktionieren, obwohl man das Gef&#252;hl hat, man h&#228;tte genug gegessen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#220;ber imgriff.com bin ich bei dem Artikel The Data-Driven Life der New York Times gelandet: [&#8230;] I suspected that the self-tracking explosion was simply the logical outcome of this obsession with efficiency.
