The Experiment
I decided to track everything for one week — every meal, workout, transaction, and health metric. Here is what I learned.
Key Insights
The biggest surprise was seeing how my sleep quality directly affected my spending. On nights with less than 6 hours of sleep, I spent 40% more on food the next day — mostly on convenience meals and coffee.
What I Will Keep Doing
Meal prep on Sundays, logging workouts immediately after finishing, and reviewing my budget categories weekly. These three habits had the highest return on effort.
