    I’m the kind of person who makes spreadsheets about everything, so I have a spreadsheet to see how my running performance changes over time and another one tracking my sleep, stress levels, habits, etc.

    Most of this I could see on Garmin’s web UI, but I don’t assume the company will be around forever, so I’d rather save the data for myself. Now I don’t use the data for anything specific, but it’s nice to see it confirm the effect my good/bad habits have on my health 😅 Also it gives an extra motivation to get off my ass.

      Now I don’t use the data for anything

      This is exactly what I did; I gathered large amounts of data for no actual reason. I also told myself I needed it for motivation because it visualized my effort and progress, but it turns out it actually makes no difference even though I could have sworn it was necessary for me.
