Stress, energy and productivity

A few weeks ago I launched a small quantified-self project. It’s origins flow from increasing generalized anxiety...thinking about ways to manage that.  My Dr. directed me to a website and I ended up (eventually) at https://welltory.com   It aims to measure stress, energy, and productivity. I love me some measurements!

It’s interesting, for example, but not surprising... to see that in comparing my sleep and my energy - there’s a correlation. And I can make choices that help with quality sleep. Simple and logical enough.  

What was more surprising is the Welltory suggestion that I would benefit from continued measurement even if I don’t follow their suggestions. Huh? As it happens, simply being aware of how you feel and how your body is reacting (or is that the other way around?!?) is a good start to managing stress.

I don’t see myself doing any knitting or sudoku as meditation. But hey, you never know ....
