To Track or Not to Track?

I remember reading a New York Times Magazine feature on the quantified self movement a few years ago and thinking the people they featured were fascinating and a little bit crazy and a little bit awesome…but definitely nothing like me.  I was blown away by the amount of effort people were spending tracking their sleep, food, workouts, mood, etc; and I (admittedly judgmentally) took the stance that I’d rather spend more time actually in REM, eating meals, and exercising than graphing and reflecting on my activity.
