Chin Up motivation tracker

Chin Up is my personal motivation tracker. Every day I rate from 1 to 10 how I am feeling in certain metrics like strength, flexibility, relationships and happiness.

There are two types of metrics:

• Daily - Measured every day
• Monthly - Measured on the first of every month

It is meant to be hosted locally/somewhere free, like Heroku.

What I track

If you want the same setup I have, go to the admin screen and add these items.

Daily checklist (binary=True)

• Vitamins
• Coffee
• 20 pushups for 3 sets
• 20 squats for 3 sets
• 8 pull ups for 3 sets
• (a lot more, this depends entirely on what you do/want to do every day)

Daily tracking

• Happy
  • 1 being seeing my mom with tubes coming out of her face and head
  • 10 being happiest I've ever been, nothing feels impossible
• Motivated
  • 1 being ultra depressed not even eating
  • 10 being I did everything I needed to and more
• Flexibility
  • 1 being no stretching in chair all day no walking around
  • 10 being I did every stretch possible and did the splits
• Strength
  • 1 being I feel as soft as an 8 year old girl
  • 10 being I squatted and deadlifted the day before--now I can't move
• Endurance
  • 1 being I got winded getting out of my chair
  • 10 being I jump roped for 10 minutes and ran a mile without breathing hard
• Relationship
  • 1 being I got into a huge argument and feel terrible
  • 10 being we made dinner together and wrote each other poetry

Monthly tracking

• Life goals
  • 1 being no progress towards goals and very depressed
  • 10 being I got a world record deadlift
• Power
  • 1 being no physical activity
  • 10 being I ran and worked out every opportunity I had
• Nature
  • 1 being no outdoor activity
  • 10 being I spent the entire time camping and fishing

Why?

To become the best I can be: I need motivation, I need to get my chin up.

How do you measure?

Every metric that I believe significantly effects my motivation and health will be measured on a scale from 1 to 10. If there is something significant to note, I'll put that down as well. However, the main goal is to motivate myself through numbers and statistics.

1 being the worst, least effort I could possibly put in and 10 being the best, most effort I could possibly put in.

Ease of use

To make it easier to use, I made a simple app and threw it on pypi called django-pin-passcode. It logs you in to the user you define after you enter a certain passcode composed of 0-9 and #.

Stats

• Month to month - Average for the entire month
• Week to week - Average for the entire week
• Day of the week - Average for that day of the week for the last year
• 7 day - Last 7 day simple
• 30 day - Last 30 day simple

Correlations

Thanks to numpy I added really quick correlations between metrics, it's pretty ugly but it will tell you what metrics might positively/negatively correlate to each other.
