Understanding Physical Practices and the Role of Technology in Manual Self-Tracking
summary
Survey (N=404) and follow-up interviews (N=18) use photos, questionnaires, and semi-structured interviews to show manual self-tracking functions as a structured creative outlet and a mindful, slow practice valued for materiality and sentimental artifacts. Users rarely perform long-term quantitative reflection, often duplicate entries digitally, and consult only recent days. Results point to hybrid tools that extract data from physical artifacts, visualize trends, or correlate with digital signals like step count and location.
