I remember reading about the Quantified Self movement in the early 2000s. Even though this was something that people were experimenting with for years, I felt that it was a revolutionary approach to understanding and improving our health and well-being. In the early days, it was difficult to collect and analyze all of the data that would be useful to collect. During this time, I've witnessed the incredible potential of wearable technology and mobile apps to revolutionize the way we track...

I've always been a fan of gardening.
