I can not see me ever going back to not doing this. It is just too interesting to be able to look up and analyze all the data of what I did and how I felt.
Additionally, it improved my ability to notice and quantitatively express what I feel.
My expectation is that in the future, this type of self-tracking will become very common. Not only for the sake of curiosity. I expect that it will also turn out useful to do "randomized controlled trials of one" which will result in meaningful results for the individual on how their behaviour impacts their mood and health.
