It surprised me that both of us started self experiment out of personal need. Sure he did it more rigorously. Self experiment and self analysis has been a tradition in psychology. For example, Sigmund Freud and his daughter Anna Freud were the first few people meticulously recorded what they did and psychologically analyzing their daily thoughts and behaviors. In fact, most psychologists will do some sort of self reflextion on their daily activities. Giving your daily activities a second thought will reveal many interesting things.

I totally agree to that. It is helpful to keep journaling when you are getting started with a new habit. Once you are used to it, it is also a bit hard to quit. In my experience, doing exercise is sth. addictive like smoking (although i don't have experience in smoking).
