Can confirm this is true. I bought a smart watch to track my activities, now I use it to track how well I slept! 💀

the enjoy part is really difficult for me. I can't even find a reason to leave home if not about work

I think your conclusion is sound for most people. But for some of us, tracking is enjoyable. As a former engineer, monitoring performance metrics minimizes the abstraction.

What about the inverse situation where you're tracking do do less of something, sat eating or smoking for example? Would the reduced enjoyment caused by the tracking actually be helpful here?

I go to the gym to lift weights 3 days a week. whenever I have someone join me I let them know that tracking things isn't as important as continuing to show up. After a while the dread going to the gym gets replaced with the disappointment of not going.

But what if collecting data to track trends and find correlations in data makes the activity more enjoyable? 😄

With tracking your activity, you are more likely to compare yourself with others. And in times of social media, there is always someone better than you, which steals your joy as well (I suppose). What is your opinion?

I feel psychosocial exclusion at the gym for being bisexual. And I love going to the gym and socializing with the people there, but it's impossible. That's what disappoints me.

I think there’s a pretty big difference between tracking to encourage habit change vs tracking to collect data. A lot of us want the data.

Just out of curiosity, what kind of timescale are we talking about re: short/long term enthusiasm?

Many people get started with gamified and fun tracking tools and they learn skills and things about themselves while tracking. It might not last but it still changes abilities, beliefs and also open new opportunities to find that enjoyment. It is good to remember that many people do not enjoy any activity because they lack skills and physical capabilities. So these tools can push some people forward and for some, they help maintaining certain level when life changes. Studies often give trackers to people who have never showed any interest - no wonder they did not continue to track. So let's not be overly simple with complex challenges.

Does this apply to financial tracking as well? Or is this purely for activities

A recent meta analysis looking at workplace monitoring specifically did not find evidence it increase productivity but it destroys enjoyment of the job. The rationalisation of the workplace is really killing us lol so why do it to yourself in your free time

Is that because it meddles with our intrinsic motivation?

for me not mutually exclusive, I do well by combining tracking with a priority on enjoyment or joy.

all metrics kill enjoyment, but sometimes you need to hit the pause on enjoyment and enforce self-discipline...As the Greeks say, all with good measure

I agree with you that self-motivation is a game changer. But I have a hard time believing tracking apps are accurate
