In order to improve you need to have some kind of metrics, right? (Be aware of Goodhart's law)
I'm doing small research about trackers. I wonder what kind of trackers do you use? Fitness, sleep, food, expenses, heart bit rate, hardware or software - anything.

My favorite is an app called 'Habithub' where I can add my own habits I want to do every day or a certain amount of times per week. It's based on the 'chaining' technique writersstore.com/dont-break-the-ch... and I try really hard not to break the chains, even when inconvenient. I mostly use it to track running, going to the gym, make sure I stretch enough and try some new things every once in a while.
I also have a Garmin watch for running, which tracks heart rate, fitness and sleep. I don't wear it at night anymore though.
Other than that I use todoist to plan and keep track of my tasks and toggl to keep track of time I spend on work and sometimes side projects.
You are very organised
Oh no, I don't want to give the wrong impression here. I use all these things because I'm everything but organized. If I don't list what I'm supposed to do there's a high chance I'll never do so at all, I'm all over the place 😂.
For sleep, if you have an Android phone: play.google.com/store/apps/details...
Really nice feature set. Collects lots of useful data.
I use MiBand 3 fitness tracker, mostly for sleep data (together with Sleep as Android).
Google Fit passively - it gets my activity, sleep and meditation data, but I don't really use it often.
Toggl is a must for me - mainly use it for work, sometimes side projects. I tried to track every minute of my life once or twice, but it was exhausting.
Sometimes I look into emailmeter to better understand my mail usage and habits.
For expensed I used Wallet until changing bank, which is not connected to this service.
For some time I've been using exist.io, which is quite a nice service for finding correlation between data from other sources.
I tried many other services, but nothing for a long time.
UPS tracker.
