Tracking your activities is the best way to measure the impact that daily events have on your well-being. For example, I started tracking the days that I meditate and can see the direct result that it has had on my Avail Score. This is valuable information that helps me learn which activities I should be performing to maximize the benefit I receive from the time that I invest in my health.
To make this even more powerful, we have given you the option of tracking activities in one of five categories:
Physical
Physical activities are the things that you do that require physical exertion and are performed with a specific goal in mind. Some examples of physical activities include the following:
Working Out
Practicing for a Sport
Playing a Sport
Swimming Laps
Yoga Class
Running
Pilates
Home Renovations
Mental
Mental activities are things that primarily require cognitive effort to complete. Some example of mental activities include:
Meditating
Studying for an Exam
Completing an Assignment
Reading a Textbook
Writing an Article
Editing a Video
Learning a New Skill
Journalling
Social
Social activities are things that you do that primarily require social effort to complete. Some examples of social activities include:
Joining a Social Group
Going to a Rally
Attending an Improv Class
Going to Church
Spending time with Friends
Leisure
Leisure activities are things from the previous categories that you may perform with no specific goal in mind. Some example of leisure activities include:
Going for a Hike
Playing a Video Game
Reading a Novel
Going to a Concert
Painting a Picture
Occupational
Occupational activities are things relating to your current profession. Some example of occupational activities include:
Giving a Presentation
Attending a Networking Event
Giving a Speech
Travel for work
These are just of a few examples to give you an idea of how to categorize the activities you track. There is no limit to the number or specificity of activities that you can track. Any activity that you want to measure the impact of can be monitored in Avail.
