So I am a bit of a weirdo, I’ve long had an interest in keeping records of my training. For over 4 years, it was only my body weight and body fat percentage. But since reading the 4 Hour Body by Tim Ferriss I’ve started recording even more metrics, such as bicep, chest, waist and thigh circumference.
I’ve also been keeping a journal in one form or another for many years, either physical on paper or on various electronic means. I do this, because it helps me organise my mind and allow me to look back upon various stages of my life, hoping I have improved in one form or another with time.

As an idea

I fully appreciate it’s no where as simple, but i do wish there’s a way for me to track various aspect of my life quantitatively such as my training. In my own attempt to fill this gap, I started designing an app “How was your day?” The idea is to allow it’s user platform to measure their days, so if you had a pretty good day at the office and managed to get the majority of the work done you may rate your Happiness level 8. Where as you might rate your HEALTHY LIVING a 3 because you missed your session at the gym but instead had a beer at lunch. The fields itself should be flexible. An athlete might want to track their “Stamina”, “Quality of Rest” and “Concentration”. Where as a new parent might be more interested in tracking their child’s “Appetite”, “Bathroom habits” and “Restlessness”.
The app will also give you reminders when things have not been going well, bad DIET for 5 days in a row, you’ll get a reminder
The purposes are endless. The app will also allow the user to make Notes on each item of their day, limited to 140 characters so that they don’t feel the they don’t feel the pressure to have to write a lot. Here’s a mock up of my idea, check it out using your mobile:

How was your day? The Mock up

Check it out and let me know what you think? Is it as bad of an idea as I fear?
To give you an idea of  the type of record I keep, here’s a page from my body metric records:
