The pitch
Log dose, timing, mood, side effects, food, sleep. Build a dataset.
What actually happened
Nine days. Then the spreadsheet became one more thing I was failing at. The data I never collected told me nothing, and the guilt about not collecting it told me less.
What worked instead
Two checkboxes: took it, roughly when. That is it. When something felt off for a week straight, I wrote one sentence about it. That one sentence, three times a year, has been more useful in appointments than any dashboard.
Verdict
Worked — the minimal version. The maximal version is a trap.
