Tracking Progress

With no record of performance you can't know if you are getting any better, so the first step to improvement is record keeping. What's that law about how observing something makes it change? The Hawthorne Effect? Perhaps keeping records can be enough of a motivational boost to improve performance.

Have you ever seen Project Bloodteam? This is personal record tracking taken to an amazing level. Check out Agent Gardner's 2002 Restaurants page. Impressive records, though he does eat some terrible food.

So the question becomes, what do you want to improve? It seems like a start would be anything I'm spending money on, because spending money is something I'm sort of bad at. Additionally, rating all input is pretty amazing. Everything from food to media.

As I prepare to go public it seems like posting this information publicly allows people to do their "due diligence" before investing and also holds me accountable for my input as well as my spending.
