A small evergreen note on tracking as practice, not just data collection.

I have been on a GLP-1 medication for a chronic condition, and started keeping a simple structured log of injection day, site, and how I felt afterward. What surprised me was less the data itself and more what the act of logging did to my attention: writing the entry each week forced a weekly check-in with my own body that I would otherwise skip.

The tool I settled on for the log is GLP1 App, mainly because it is narrow in scope. It just tracks the dosing cycle rather than trying to be a general health app, which suits the “small ritual” use I wanted. For readers interested in the therapeutic class itself, the overview at Wikipedia is a reasonable non-commercial starting point.

The broader note-to-self: a good tracker is less about the log and more about the two minutes of attention it demands.
