About Me

I’m José, the kid sitting with a pen and paper in the photo above. I’m an engineering grad student and the person behind LifeLoggerz. This is where I turn messy routines into repeatable systems using Google Sheets dashboards, Python tools, and simple workflows that make research and daily life run smoother.

🎓 How Did This All Start?

You can explore the 2023, 2024, and 2025 raw data sheets to see how these systems evolved. I had no prior experience with Excel or Google Sheets, so I learned one formula at a time, then moved into formatting and automation with Apps Script and APIs. Today, logging my essential stats takes about 5 minutes, though my diary entries take longer. No matter how tired I am, I still log it.

📊 LifeLoggerz Philosophy

Small habits compound. I started by tracking sleep and meals. Now I track over 150 variables: sleep, food, health, work, study, music, books, even “blunders.” Over time, this became a personal operating system. I use it to make decisions based on data. LifeLoggerz shares the templates and code so you can take what works and build your own system.

🛠 Tools & Systems I Share

• Google Sheets templates and dashboards for daily life and research
• Python apps for analysis, visualization, and exports (Excel and PowerPoint)
• Templates and routines that remove decision fatigue

🎸 What Do I Do With the Time Gained?

For a while, this was my only hobby. Nothing else mattered. Every spare minute went into improving these systems. Eventually, I hit diminishing returns. There is a limit to how much you should track, and I reached it around May 2025. My systems did not need constant upgrading, so I stepped back.

Now I keep things stable and use the time I gained. I practice flamenco guitar, listen to audiobooks while I drive or do chores, run, learn languages, and spend time with family. Optimization created the space. Now I actually use it.

🌱 Why This Blog Exists

For the past 3 years, I have been showing these systems to people. This site makes them easy to explore and use. If you are curious about tracking your habits, streamlining research, or building your own life system, you are in the right place.
