Week two of Fitbit tracking and to be honest it’s kinda become invisible on my wrist, in fact I’ve only just checked it now to check it’s battery level and it’s down to 40% it’s really one of those ‘body’ sensors that I don’t have to worry about too much and it gives me back so much data that I don’t have to worry about until I want to review it — it’s already becoming a reinforcement to how my weeks are going and where I need to course correct.

stats for last week then.. .

So last week was my birthday midweek so we did a bunch of walking that really sent my steps skyrocketing this week, you can see that middle of the week intensity for a series of three days when we were either walking around a city, in transition back and then on the friday we did a last bunch of walking back and forth from school into town and back so that really got the numbers up! - kinda happy with 72k steps for the week.

To see that I was crushing it for 70% productivity time is awesome too, I’ve gotta install rescue time on the laptop as well so it can get my time there as well when I’m using that mobile because I knew I used it a few times while we were in transit so I know I’m losing a bit of tracking there.

Nothing surprising here to be honest, monday and tuesday are pretty dead because I’m either getting up to speed for the week or i’m still in apathy chill mode from the weekend — the next four days thou I crushed it and then had an apathy day on sunday, I think if I go walking on sunday I might more driven to go walking on monday, keeping it up means you can transition into the next day better I’ve found.

I might drop this card to be honest, it doesn’t really tell me that much, sure it shows I was productive and online but it’s a bit of a terrible graph, I think I’ll skip this one next week and see if I can find other cards that are more useful, once I get to a month of data I presume those monthly cards will show up, those will be better to show once a month to see month on month where we are at, by the middle of the year I’ll be hopefully crushing it.

this one really shows the level of sleep mess up I’ve been having, you can see where my sleep was all over the place on the thursday, I’m really not sure was going on there, maybe it was the storms, I don’t remember, I slept like a baby the three days before that thou for nine hours so I think that helped because normally I’m evil on four hours sleep, ouchy!

This is slowly becoming my favourite card because this is the one I’m more interested in, how I spend my time online — even thou it was birthday week I still had a productive thirteen hours working on steemit, bear, keynote and revisited fiver a little bit when they upgraded my account — I still need to chase that down, I think I could level back up really easily with a few more orders, I need to totally re-invent all the gigs over there, maybe with the new green screen I can do that.

You’ll notice that for ‘other time’ that it lists twitter, youtube, minecraft and bbc — it’s true I spent a bunch of time reading the moments on twitter and the news on the bbc website, can’t believe that adds up to that much time actually — oh and also I DONT play minecraft, that’s my daughter playing on my computer — funny to see that I’m totally over the news and twitter by the middle of the week! :)

Another card that is new this week is my goals, you can see that I crushed the goal for the week, it’s important to set goals and I really like the way that the Fitbit motivates you (if you let it) to get up, get the steps in, take some time out to get the steps done — I know this might be a slow week so I feel like I crushed two weeks in one here.

I did set an objective to meditate at least ten minutes a day which I totally gapped last week, maybe I’ll get that in today, let’s hope so anyway, maybe when I get back from the walk to the shops I’ll take some time out and control my breathing and time out before I start the afternoon.
