The case in summary Tuva Fransen Bjørntuft has logged habits, mood and training every day for five years to improve her physical and mental health. She uses a personal calendar to record what she does, plans, goals, the weather and her mood. The log helps her see how different aspects of her life are connected, and she notices that she has better days when she has exercised. Line Joranger, professor of social, cultural and community psychology, expresses concern that this type of logging can lead to self-consciousness, self-criticism and an excessive need for control. Bjørntuft admits that it can be a form of addiction, but sees it as a positive addiction. Joranger believes that although the creative part with pen and paper is positive, documenting everything you do can be exaggerated and lead to self-criticism.
