Ideas for Quantified Self experiments
Once I will be reasonably confident that I have a semi-OK-baseline, it would be great to actually start doing stuff.
How to do self-experiments:
I’d also like to make predictions at the beginning, and to ask myself some question (how hard was it, do I feel deprived or tempted, etc). This will keep me focused
Those are the ones that I suspect will be very interesting and easy to do and formalize and with the biggest possible impact:
- Eliminating caffeine (ABAB)
- Semi-regularly but tracked except for tea (right now)
- Use caffeine+L-theanine systematically and see how (and when) does it influence the following: (for two weeks)
- CBS
- DNB
- typing speed
- General wellbeing(=mood)
- Phenibut 2-3 times in the middle of those two weeks
- Eliminate both caffeine and phenibut totally after that, for two weeks
- Jogging/exercise on sleep and mood the following day/night (I think I can do it at the same time as 1.)
- Creatine and citrulline on workouts and jogging (keep them consistent, 2-3 times a week, and just either take them or not, and see what happens)
- The workout/run itself
- Muscle soreness next day
- Food on cognition, especially a lot of it, especially junk food
- Not as experiment, just record it, and see what happens.
Not a priority but very interesting:
- No caffeine or alcohol for 30 days
- ISR every evening for 2 weeks
- Vegan for 30 days
- Intermittent fasting
- Mindfullness meditation every evening for 20 days
More abstract:
- Recite affirmations every day
- Activity alarm every 30 minutes
- MINDFULLNESS and outside
- Eat only on response of hunger
- Write 1000 words a day for two weeks
Over and out for now
Nel mezzo del deserto posso dire tutto quello che voglio.
