I want a Mood Garmin. That dream is still far off. I want to make dramatic, night-and-day improvements the way I have on my bicycle.
I want a fast feedback loop like I have with cycling. I want some way to automatically – or nearly so – collect data that is exhaustive, detailed, and useful for training. However, the feedback loop is really slow and it is really geared toward self-reporting at the end of a day. It’s hardly even an original idea the DBT diary card uses a really primitive form of the idea. I’m hoping that tracking and correlating different metrics will help as much with consciousness skills as it does with cycling. I don’t think I’ve yet shared my idea of a Mood Garmin – my fantasy that I will discover or cobble together some kind of device or technique to track real-time performance of consciousness skills the same way that my Garmin Edge bike computer tracks all kinds of metrics as I train and ride on my bicycle.
