I used to graph it all by hand in the back of my Everything Notebook. Then I switched to a variety of apps for my phone or iPad.</p> <p>My hope was always to find correlative patterns between my rest and my productivity. And it was also fun to see months of data. The graphs began to look pretty cool.</p> <p>Only my search for the perfect iPad or web app has been unsuccessful, meaning I am currently on a hiatus from my sleep-tracking days (er, nights).</p> <p>Until now. (Maybe. Hopefully.)</p> <p>I just discovered <a href="http://www.fitbit.com">Fibit</a>, a web app that tracks your sleep along with a wealth of other health-related information. Only to make it really work I need to dish out some cash and buy the $99 sensor that serves as a pedometer during the day and a sleep sensor at night. (So far I've created an account with the site and recorded that I ate a banana for breakfast.)</p> <p>I might end up with this spiffy device. And if it works, it could be a great addition to the quirkiness of my life.</p> </p> <p><a href="http://www.jimkastkeat.com/obsession-sleep-tracking-fitbitcom">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.jimkastkeat.com/obsession-sleep-tracking-fitbitcom#comment">Leave a comment&nbsp;&nbsp;&raquo;</a> </p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/jimkastkeat?a=HTrZ416X9lU:FhzWa3H1i_4:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/jimkastkeat?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/jimkastkeat?a=HTrZ416X9lU:FhzWa3H1i_4:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/jimkastkeat?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jimkastkeat/~4/HTrZ416X9lU" height="1" width="1"/> http://files.posterous.com/user_profile_pics/387830/square_tie.jpg http://posterous.com/people/1bij3WkagdX Jim Kast-Keat jimkastkeat Jim Kast-Keat http://www.jimkastkeat.com/obsession-sleep-tracking-fitbitcom Wed, 27 Jul 2011 05:08:00 -0700 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/jimkastkeat/~3/4zxG2jgGTU4/1-1-9-x-3-3-3-1 http://www.jimkastkeat.com/1-1-9-x-3-3-3-1 <p> Simplicity wins. </p> <p><a href="http://www.jimkastkeat.com/1-1-9-x-3-3-3-1">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.jimkastkeat.com/1-1-9-x-3-3-3-1#comment">Leave a comment&nbsp;&nbsp;&raquo;</a> </p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/jimkastkeat?a=4zxG2jgGTU4:qiulg0xQ5aE:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/jimkastkeat?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/jimkastkeat?a=4zxG2jgGTU4:qiulg0xQ5aE:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/jimkastkeat?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jimkastkeat/~4/4zxG2jgGTU4" height="1" width="1"/> http://files.posterous.com/user_profile_pics/387830/square_tie.jpg http://posterous.com/people/1bij3WkagdX Jim Kast-Keat jimkastkeat Jim Kast-Keat http://www.jimkastkeat.com/1-1-9-x-3-3-3-1 Mon, 25 Jul 2011 12:19:00 -0700 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/jimkastkeat/~3/8RIy3zN5D6Q/fill-in-the-blank-god-is-or-jesus-is http://www.jimkastkeat.com/fill-in-the-blank-god-is-or-jesus-is <p> <p>This spring the middle school students at <a href="http://www.marshill.org">Mars Hill</a> will be answering the questions "Who is God?" and "Who am I?"&nbsp;From March through May we will be filling in one of two blanks: "God is ________" or "Jesus is ________".

<div><b><i>ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY</i></b></div><div><b>Art and Fear by David Bayles and Ted Orland</b></div><blockquote class="webkit-indent-blockquote" style="margin: 0 0 0 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;"><div>Art &amp; Fear explores the way art gets made, the reasons it often doesn&#39;t get made, and the nature of the difficulties that cause so many artists to give up along the way.</div> </blockquote><p /><div><b>On Writing by Stephen King</b></div><blockquote class="webkit-indent-blockquote" style="margin: 0 0 0 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;"><div>On Writing is two books in one binding. Opening with a memoir of his own journey as a writer, King then moves to help fill your “writing toolbox,” creating a unique work that is both entertaining and practical.</div> </blockquote><p /><div><b>Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott</b></div><blockquote class="webkit-indent-blockquote" style="margin: 0 0 0 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;"><div>When her ten-year-old brother was agonizing over a book report on birds, their father gave the advice that later fueled the title of this book: “Just take it bird by bird.” Similar to her father’s childhood advice, Lamott’s suggestion in Bird by Bird is down-to-earth: worry about the characters, not the plot. </div> </blockquote><p /><div><b>The War of Art by Stephen Pressfield</b></div><blockquote class="webkit-indent-blockquote" style="margin: 0 0 0 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;"><div>The War of Art is about being more creative - but more important, it&#39;s also about fulfilling your potential as a human being. To do this, he says, you must overcome Resistance, that adversary that wants you to take it easy, to be ordinary and mediocre, to take the low road. The journey, then, is to discover who you truly are and to live as that creative person in the face of ongoing Resistence.</div> </blockquote><p /><div><b>Do the Work by Stephen Pressfield</b></div><blockquote class="webkit-indent-blockquote" style="margin: 0 0 0 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;"><div>In this short manifesto Pressfield offers a weapon against Resistence, a tool that will help one take action and ship projects out the door. It’s not about better ideas but about actually doing the work.</div> </blockquote><p /><div><b>The Creative Habit by Twyla Tharp</b></div><blockquote class="webkit-indent-blockquote" style="margin: 0 0 0 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;"><div>Creativity does not an accident waiting to happen. Instead it is a habit that can be cultivated, a muscle that can be exercised. In The Creative Habit dance choreographer Twyla Tharp shares a glimpse at her own journey to discover, establish, and cultivate a creative habit inviting the reader to do the same in their own life and work.</div> </blockquote><p /><div><b><a href="http://www.storypraxis.com">www.storypraxis.com</a></b></div><blockquote class="webkit-indent-blockquote" style="margin: 0 0 0 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;"><div>Storypraxis is a literary experiment dedicated to helping people write creatively every day and connect with other writers.</div> </blockquote><p /><div><b><a
