LifeloggingI am Apollo Lemmon and this is my lifestream. I invite you to join me in my exploration of an integral life. I am focused on discovering what it means to live a life rooted in integral consciousness and I explore spirituality, art, community, technology, fitness and other aspects of a fully engaged life. I am now living in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.
I can always be reached at apollo@apollolemmon.com
Three months ago I was lifelogging every day and keeping a good record of my activities at Daytum. Around the time I moved back to Nova Scotia I fell out of the habit of recording my eating, sleeping, exercising and meditating activities. Since then I have allowed myself to neglect lifelogging during the transition involved in returning to Halifax. Now I am looking forward to beginning again on September 1st.
This time I will be trying an alternative to Daytum, the flashier and more social zeaLOG.
In very few words, zeaLOG is a site for keeping track of anything and everything. Users track things either publicly or privately, and can either go it alone, or work in groups to see how they stack up against other folks. Users are tracking exercise, weight, how often they fight with their mother, what movies they watch, their Coke Zero habits, even how often they have sex (those are usually private). Nothing works like peer pressure and encouragement. ~zeaLOG
We could all be more skillful at conducting effective change in our lives, and I’ll raise my own hand high if we’re going to count failures in change. Recently I’ve been learning from some fine examples of people working to change their lives and I’ll to pass along some of what has been valuable.
Self-experimentation is a very effective way to discover ways in which we can alter our lifestyles. Experimentation gives us objective data about how we are living and how well we are changing our lives. Without evidence, we can fool ourselves with wishful thinking or doubts about our progress, but we have the tools we need to confirm our practices are working and to shape them into more effective vehicles for change.

This is the first week since I began tracking my data that I have meditated every day. I’m very pleased that I have been able to make meditation part of my daily life and will be continuing for the next 3 months with at least an hour each day. My strength training and eating habits need strengthening and I’ll be working on that this coming week.

I’ve begun tracking my location with both my iPod Touch and a cheap GPS data logger. I’ll be tagging my photos with location data and keeping a log of my location to associate with other data I collect.
Today I recorded my moments on a walk that I have taken many times since moving to Waterloo. First I walked from my apartment to my Credit Union. Next I visited my local library the Waterloo Public Library, where I picked up two books I placed on hold the night before. I shopped for some groceries and then headed back home.
The accuracy isn’t superb, but I’m ok with the rough lines the tracker provides.
