The Quantified Self: A 14-Day Study on Goal Clarity, Stress, Focus, Productivity, and Energy

This preprint presents a 14-day self-study exploring how daily habits influence a student’s productivity, focus, energy, and stress levels. The author tracked these variables each day using a structured log and analyzed trends to identify what factors improved or reduced academic performance and wellbeing. The study provides preliminary insights into how routine, sleep, stress management, and personal organization can impact daily cognitive performance, offering practical reflections that may inspire other students to self-experiment and optimize their habits.
