Happiness App

“When you start monitoring anything, you start learning”- Robert Trajkovski

Nataly Kogan has a company that produces an app called Happier.  The app helps users document the things that make them happiest. The eventual goal of the app is to have enough data to be able to generate a happiness graph.  Cool!

In past posts I talked about the MyFitnessPal app which allows me to track my daily calories and exercise inputs.  I love the app although for the last month or so it has failed to work. 

I do not see Nataly’s app as being anything different.  It allows the user to track their level of activity along a certain dimension.  She tracks happiness, MyFitnessPal tracks calorie and activity level. 

What these two apps are telling me is that people want to track themselves and the easier you can make it for them to convert their lives into data the more financially rewarding it will be for your business. 

Today’s question is:

“What would you track in your life that can be graphed?”
