I use Health Auto Export, Apple Shortcuts, and N8N to archive my Apple Health data, which I then visualize in Grafana. My goal is to create a comprehensive and actionable overview, focusing on trends in mindfulness (FFMQ-assessment), sleep, HRV, workouts, and body measurements.

FFO Aether Realm, Insomnium and … Testament?
Turns out most productivity gurus eventually admit the grind was a scam. The real “hack” isn’t some system—it’s dropping the act, making stuff you enjoy, and actually living your life. 🤷🏻♂️
Adding the “random Indieweb” URL to my bookmarks bar was a great decision.
Try it. Every time you click it you get another blog from ‘the small web’.
