What is the crowd's opinion of Nomie?

From 3.5 billion comments

Wow, thanks for the detailed answer! I skimmed it quickly and understand what you mean. I'll probably process it in a more detailed way along with the papers when I create a Zettel/permanent notes on this.

Its good to have indicators outside of meditation and make sure other things aren't getting worse, one example being sleep quality.

I recently https://nomie.app/ to track my sleep time, self-reported sleep quality, mindfulness, and anxiety so hopefully I'd notice.

> integrate your practices with other areas of your daily life

I meditate eyes open following my breath in small work breaks at the computer to "recharge" my mindfulness. Maybe this is what you mean by integrate?

> Few psychological processes are inherently adaptive. Instead, the benefit of any psychological process is dependent on the interaction between person and context.

I try to heavily focus on only adding small sustainable changes to routine to guard against this. I'll only add something to my morning routine if I've been doing it with 95% success for 3-4 weeks for example.

That way i've had a pretty good sample of me doing it at different energy/health/mental health levels.

> My main point is that the culture has exploded with how mindfulness/meditation can seemingly solve everything, but the research suggests that the question of "can it help every person in every situation ",

I agree, that's why I'm a big proponent of only advocating very gradual adoption and even recommend people stay on 5m sessions in headspace for a while.

Depending on ones anxiety levels, taking away the prompts and having moved to 15m of total silence can be jarring.

I know you wanted to make your own and all, but I can recommend the web app Nomie as it's open source and focused privacy (no company gets your data). also the dev on r/nomie (/u/domainkiller) is a cool guy.

But check out Nomie for a flexible all-in-one active tracking solution. It also does some basic correlations between sets of variables. I've used it for 4+ years now. https://nomie.app/

This particular FAQ is tagged v3 but I couldn't tell from the FAQ that this feature was deprecated. :)

Thanks for replying and confirming that I wasn't missing the obvious! I just couldn't find the setting that the FAQ referred to.

Have you checked out Nomie? I have trackers like “change AC filter”. I can see a history of when I changed the filter (similar to your grass cutting example). I also keep up with coffee, water, medicine... It is a pretty flexible app.

I highly recommend you Nomie.

It's a great tool, all your data stays private and it's open source.

Check it out at https://nomie.app and if you have more questions the founder it's on this sub (/r/nomie) and he is very involved with the community.

I don't use it to track my symptoms, but I've been using https://nomie.app/ and it's working pretty well. No app but usable in your phone's browser.

I also use Daylio but it's more as a mood tracker and a micro diary.

Does anyone know how to use quantified self with Alexa/Google Assistant?

In the past I had something working with Google Assistant via IFTTT and was tracking various things, where each value was stored in its own Google Sheets spreadsheet. However, whenever I made a mistake and changed a value the command would cease to work.

A working Alexa/Google Assistant command that records in a spreadsheet/csv/whatever and doesn't stop functioning would be great. A way to integrate a tracking App like Nomie would be even better.

So does anyone know how to integrate Quantified Self tracking by category via either Alexa or Google Assistant?

I would have expected Quantified Self to have some major applications which operate over voice command, but was surprised to find no such functionality. Anything I could find required a lot of work to build it yourself. It must be out there (either an app, or a set of commands) but I haven't been able to find it.

For an example of what I mean, something that will track things like,

1) Mood on 1-10 scale at given time 2) When I took a fish oil pill. 3) When I feel anxious.

...so on and so forth.
