Where did it all go?

Tracking and logging can seem tedious, but in measured doses, it can teach us a lot about ourselves.

You could choose a day, or a week, or a month … and just keep track.

Maybe you follow every dollar spent.

Or every calorie.

Or every minute.

Or every mile.

And yes, the data will be flawed.

And yes, it’s unhealthy to go overboard with this task.

But might it also be unhealthy to not know?

To pretend that we’re doing one thing when we’re really doing another?

Seeing what we’re actually doing might prompt a pat on the back.

Or it might be the impetus for change.

Either way, we’re better than saying, “I just don’t know where it all went.”
