What to write down when you feel nothing at all

Blog Article

Uneventful weeks feel like there is nothing to record, and they are the weeks most likely to be skipped. That skipping is what turns a log into a record of bad weeks only, which distorts everything you conclude from it and everything a clinician concludes from it.

Record the dose and record a zero. That is the whole obligation. A severity of zero, or a one word 'nothing', is a real observation and it costs five seconds. It is the denominator against which every other entry means something.

The distortion is not subtle. If you log four bad weeks out of twelve and skip the other eight, the log shows four entries and reads as though every week was bad. Nobody looking at it can tell the difference between an uneventful week and an unrecorded one, including you.

This is also the thing that makes improvement visible. A run of zeros after a run of threes is the clearest evidence there is that something is settling, and it is completely invisible if the zeros were never written. A Peptide Tracker & Calculator that defaults a logged dose to no symptoms unless you say otherwise gets you the denominator without any extra effort.

Boring data is the most valuable data you will collect. It just does not feel like it at the time.
