There's a "quantified self" application called "Health Month," that helps you do the things you're supposed to be doing to live forever. I signed up, curious to see what they offered, and here's what amused me: the "most popular" targets are:
  • Limit alcohol
  • Limit caffeine
  • Cook dinner
  • Limit dairy
  • Exercise
  • Limit white flour
  • Limit fried food
  • Eat fruit
  • Eat greens
  • Limit red meat
  • Take a multivitamin
  • Limit pasta
  • Limit soda
  • Drink enough water
  • Eat whole grains
Aside from "exercise," there isn't one on this list that I don't already do in more than sufficient quantities. And I disagree with "Limit caffeine" on the grounds that that's not what you need to do: you need to use caffeine wisely, tracking your response to it and seeing where you need to start and stop. I need to stop by 4pm.

The full list is more useful, but I'm surprised that "nap" isn't on it.

I'm also amused that they used the Quicksand jQuery plugin. It's so obvious.
