Simple Health Tracker

"What gets measured gets managed." 

Simple Health Tracker is a spreadsheet Jonathan has created for himself to track and monitor key behaviours that impact his health and well-being in a way that isn't too tedious, time-consuming, or invasive. 

Jonathan believes the tracking and scoring of these behaviours allows him to monitor his behaviours in a way that is "judgemental" as this spreadsheet has weighted scores based on types and levels of good or bad behaviour for his health and well-being which signal that there is a hierarchy of behaviours and there is such thing as good and bad behaviours, but also in a way that is compassionate. 

Compassionate because by inputting all of these different behaviours into one place, he can see how they are interrelated and can think about potential external circumstances or internal struggles that may be shaping his behaviour. He sees the scores as simply indicators of his health (and therefore a "judgement") but not necessarily an indicator of his character or morality (but sometimes that is part of it).

Mobile apps, smartwatches, and other devices store your data and even if they don't use it for unknown or unethical purposes, it is always a risk to give companies or other people personal and sensitive data.

Jonathan's Simple Health Tracker is different in that you just pay 5 Canadian dollars + tax for the spreadsheet he has put work into optimizing for simplicity, incentivizing good habits, and disincentivizing bad habits to be sent to you by email so neither he, nor anyone else, has access to the data that you input unless you upload it to a cloud service or share it with others yourself.

If competing and/or comparing with others is a good motivator for you can also purchase a spreadsheet to use as a romantic couple to use together for 7 Canadian dollars + tax, or for a group of 3 trusted friends or family members to use together for 10 Canadian dollars + tax, and an additional 3 Canadian dollars + tax for each additional group member.

You may also purchase 15-minute Google Meet calls with Jonathan for an additional 5 Canadian dollars + tax per 15 minutes for him to give you guidance on how to use the spreadsheet, how to edit it if you want to change the goals or scoring system to better meet your goals and needs, and how to use it with multiple people.
