What is the Quantified Self?
www.narrato.co@narratoapp
The Quantified Self is about obtaining self-knowledge through
self-trackingwww.narrato.co
@narratoapp
Self-tracking is also referred to as lifelogging,
self-analytics, or self hacking
www.narrato.co@narratoapp
It’s all about acquiring data about your life

What’s the point? Why track?
www.narrato.co@narratoapp
“If you cannot measure it, you cannot improve
it.” Lord Kelvin
www.narrato.co@narratoapp
Businesses use data to inform their decisions
www.narrato.co@narratoapp
Self tracking is like that, but for your life
www.narrato.co@narratoapp
The data gives you insights into how small
changes can make big differences
www.narrato.co@narratoapp
The data allows you to make better decisions
and live a better life
www.narrato.co@narratoapp
Did that cup of coffee make you more
productive?
www.narrato.co@narratoapp
You’d think so, right?
www.narrato.co@narratoapp
You might be wrong...
www.narrato.co@narratoapp
There’s no need to guess
www.narrato.co@narratoapp
Why is self-tracking so interesting all of a
sudden?
www.narrato.co@narratoapp
It isn’t new
www.narrato.co@narratoapp
In fact, 69% of adults in the US already track
a health metric
(Data from research by Pew) www.narrato.co@narratoapp
but most of them do it manually or in their
heads
www.narrato.co@narratoapp
Cheap sensors, cloud computing, and other
technologies are changing things
www.narrato.co@narratoapp
Tracking now takes less effort and is more
beneficial
www.narrato.co@narratoapp
Some tools let you track completely
passively
www.narrato.co@narratoapp
Self-knowledge, through doing
nothing!
