Recommendations for a personal goal "tracking system"

[cjsmith]

I'm working on a self improvement project and am looking for some kind of tracking system I can adapt for my purposes. The closest I immediately imagine is some kind of sleep quality logging app, for people who are trying to build better habits in order to combat insomnia. (Come to think of it, I could use that too.) I would like to keep track of:

- how I feel like I did today, or even how I'm doing right this instant
- what actions I have taken recently
- what external factors have happened recently

Then I'd like to correlate the second two with the first one. (In the case of a sleep quality goal, I can imagine wanting to graph over the past four weeks how well did I sleep when I ate dinner within a half hour of bedtime. That kind of thing.)

Anyone know of an app like this?

There used to be one that was amazing, called "How Are You"

It was expensive for an app (like $12 or so, I think) but it would prompt you to check in with several emotions, list some things that had happened when you did the check in...

Unfortunately, it has been discontinued.

Aw man! Frustrating! Glad it worked well for a while though.

Wow, it's amazing the stuff people are developing in that space! Thanks for the link!

it doesn't do the rest, but i have a fitbit (blaze, i think) that tracks sleep phases ("light/restless", REM, deep) as well as sleep time and frequency of "awakenings" (or being restless enough that the fitbit thinks you're awake). does do exercise / activity tracking, can do food/water tracking, some other health stuff that mostly I don't use.
