I was diagnosed with Bipolar 1 (well managed, these days), general anxiety disorder and a collection of other alphabet soup diagnoses. I’ve been tracking my moods and habits for almost four years now. I digitized all of my records, inputting them into a spreadsheet sorted by year, divided into months and days, so on, a few years ago. In the beginning, my chart was fairly simple. I assigned a designation of 1-10 to each day, subdividing 1-4 as a “dangerous” or “evaluate and reflect category”, 5-7 as a fairly normal oscillation range, 6 as a baseline, and 8-10 as a “monitor and check in with yourself”/mania category. Over the years, I’ve added stats like my weight, if I’ve done drugs or drank alcohol that day, if I had sex that day, how many meals I’ve eaten, a section for mood triggers and stressors, a section for my weight (divided into healthy and unhealthy ranges, I lose weight quickly in depressive states), as well as a section for medication changes, abnormal spending patterns, notes from therapy, etc. I think I track almost 60 datapoints these days. Having almost four years of data at my fingertips, in that much detail, is transformative for bipolars and those suffering other mental health conditions. I’m able to pinpoint seasonal fluctuations and dips, notice when mania or depression may be kicking in, keep a tab on why I’m sleeping poorly or too much, draw correlations between lifestyle habits and mental health effects-it’s transformative. This tool should be employed by ANYONE struggling with, or managing, their mental health.
I did the same (I'm a statistician and couldnt resist). Main findings: - How I feel in the morning does not tell how I will feel in the evening - Extraordinary things considered amazing by the public make my life rich, but do not influence my current hormon-based happiness. Do not feel disappointed if you experience something extraordinary yet do not feel "simply" happy. - Getting useful things done is my key driver for happiness. To that end, define your tasks the evening before and wake up knowing what to do. - Gratitude exercises are frustratingly effective.
This definitely applies with me as well considering I've received psychological therapy in the past and i have an affinity in regard to statistics, analytics, and sketching (which I consider my primary hobby).
Congratulations Matt! I know it's super weird to be so invested in someone's life but having followed you for such a long time, it has been incredible seeing your journey (and learning a lot along the way) and have nothing but gratitude and best wishes for you and your family. I am sure plenty of your followers feel exactly the same. Now when do we get the How To Minimalist Dad video?!
I was just thinking the same thing, it feels like I know these people without having actually met them. Awesome benefit of RUclips, you have a direct and personal connection with the content creator.
@@Thefitty since his early podcast days on the channel - so that's 5-6 years ago now? i create podcasts and similar videos too and he has been a big inspiration for that.
The 'keywords' part of your tracking reminds me of "Homework for Life" (if anyone has seen the TED talk / heard ppl like Ali Abdaal talk about it). Basically it's if you had to give a 5 minute story from your day, what was the most storylike moment? and you write down notes for each day. The creator said it was the greatest gift he did for himself and that he soon began to see that his life is full of many stories (even the mundane moments), his life/days started to slow down, and he started to see more beauty and importance in his life than you didn't before. Been doing it for most of this year and definitely want to combine that with mood tracking!
I used Daylio religiously while I started getting treatment for my bipolar disorder. Through tracking my mood, I became more self-aware and identified my triggers and my coping strategy. I loved it. 😊 Congrats on being a dad!
I don’t know what it is, but there’s something in you that just attracts people to your channel, is it the style? The voice tone? The Sense of humor? The video making? Idk but thank you so much for being a RUclipsr and an influencer it is the right place for you, keep moving forward❤
if i were to guess, it's that he knows how to record good quality audio and video and lighting, and he knows how to pace his videos. and posting consistently, and picking interesting topics to talk about.
We missed you, and congratulations on fatherhood! It’s a great idea to track your mood and feelings, it’s so easy to get caught up in the moment, but there’s definitely a value in recognizing trends, so that you can take action on them :)
Watching this now, curious about your findings. I've found quitting tracking my mood was one of the best things I've done for my mental health. I had gotten way too obsessed with feeling good, and it made me feel bad all the time. Allowing myself to feel bad (not having the goal to feel happy) ultimately made me feel good again.
Love it specially the crashing wall that literally has come to my mind when kids are yelling husband is sitting in the coach I’m at the ending of the day tired trying to Get dinner ready 💯 relatable Thank you.
Matt I cannot begin to emphasise just how much I love your videos. The content, the flow, the animations, the b rolls, the cinematography…. It’s just so clean and wholesome. In some strange, ridiculous way (one that I don’t completely understand) it makes me want to be a better man. Thank you Matt for all you do and create. You’re inspiring generations. And congratulations on becoming a father to both you and Nat! Wish you both all the happiness and health in the world!
Congrats on being a dad! Welcome to the club 😁 I've been tracking life metrics for the past 3-4 years, things like number of steps, if I ate dessert, whether or not I did something creative, etc. While my intent was to pull trends and see how I could improved (I did that for the first two years), now I use it more as a to-do list. With years I've added metrics and narrowed my scope to only track a dozen attributes, instead of the double. And I reward myself for successes. Every time I achieve my objective (wrote 100 words for my novel, which is all written now, btw), a formula adds $0,25 or $0,10, according to the difficulty. And when I want to buy a video game or a CD, I don't feel guilty, because I've earned it. 😀
Congrats on upcoming baby! I legit giggled when you played the party horn noise. Not sure why I thought it was so funny. Keep crushing it Matt! You’re my role model.
Dang what a good video!! I'm always so impressed by your edits, filming and content but this means a lot and has a great lesson! Also congrats on being a dad!
Thought I‘m the only one who‘s doing that. I write down whether I feel like I had an amazing, good, bad or „normal“ day. Remember: it’s not fact, it’s just how you feel about your day and any feeling is completely okay. It showed me that by the end of each month and year that I actually had overall more good days than I thought. We tend to memorize the bad days more and therefore we are quick to label a month or a year as „so bad“ when in fact often it had its normal ups and downs, and there were even amazing days we can be grateful for. Regarding the bad days, I also wrote down just a few words WHY it felt bad, so that I can learn from it for the future. To my surprise, many times it’s just my own negative thoughts and reactions rather than an external factor. So this experiment really worked for me!
Ohh this is so fun to see! I've been using Daylio for close to 3 years now and it has helped me so much with gaining more awareness. I can much more easily spot when I'm in a funk, which means something needs to change. And on the other hand I can also realize when things are good, and I can be thankful about those good periods!! And congrats to you and Nat! Can't wait to hear more about the dad-life
Matt, you are doing amazing work. Really learning a lot from you. Regarding the video, I don't track my mood but I do try to track the things I do every day. One thing I do struggle with most of the days is trying to find satisfaction or fulfillment or in your connotation, fun. Furthermore, please don't bang your head for any reason. It is really bad for the brain. Cheers.
I used dailyo for a couple of years and recently for a few months (though I quit again). It really helped me understand that even if today is horrible and I can't hold back my tears things do get better with time. It gave me hope by showing me that my emotional state was more like a rollercoaster and not a deep hole. Why did I quit? My mood finally felt stable and most days were a 1. I no longer needeed it.
After watching this I decided to add a mood tracker from -2 to +2 on my notion journal I already have created! Easy enough I just added a new property and have a timeline view sorted for mood. That's the closest I can get without paying for daylio (which I have fallen off of and had so many notifications I ignored). I probably won't do everyday for a full year but having that there will be good to know. Thanks!
Matt's dedication to tracking his mood for a year is truly inspiring. It's fascinating how our emotions can ebb and flow over time, and this practice can provide valuable insights into our mental well-being. I appreciate how he not only shares his journey but also sparks conversations among viewers about their own experiences with mood tracking. Congrats to Matt on becoming a dad as well - a new chapter full of emotions to track and cherish!
I love this video! It has been the reminder I needed to nudge me into getting back to using the daylio app. I had used it for at least 365 consecutive days and was so proud of myself for sticking to it. And then I got into this codependent relationship that started sucking up all my energy to the point where I didn't have the ambition to stick to my daily logs. Now that I'm out of the relationship I see how much of a red flag that was and am sad that I stopped using the app because that data could have helped me come to the conclusion that the relationship wasn't healthy much sooner. I'm going to make my first log tonight before bed and do my best to stick to it, even if I feel like I'm in a rut, it's still an important, loving thing to do for myself every day. Thanks for the reminder Matt!
My honest advise to new investors ,buy and hold quality stocks. Ignore market forecasts and opinions, they're mostly entertaining but not very helpful.
Achieving significant returns isn't about volatile stocks; it's about effectively balancing risk and reward. Proper position sizing and leveraging your advantage repeatedly are essential, whether you're a long-term investor or a day trader.
Certainly, many underestimate advisors until emotions lead to losses. A few summers ago, during a tough divorce, I sought a licensed advisor who, through diligent work, boosted my business from $190k to around $720k despite inflation.
The Adviser I'm in touch with is *'Jude Ryan McDonough'* , he works with Merrill, Pierce, Smith incorporated and interviewed on CNBC Television. You can use something else. for me her strategy works hence my result. He provides entry and exit point for the securities I focus on
Such a great video, love it! I have been tracking my mood for the last 5 years or so. I don't do it everyday but I do it once or twice a month. What has worked for me is I divide my feeling in 8 parts - career, home, love life, friends, family, investments, self improvement and health. Over time I can see which things needs the most help and I focus on that. This allows me to gain better self awareness (as you mentioned) and help work on my weakest link first.
Congrats on becoming a dad! I might be too much of an optimist but I've always seen it as bad moments during a day and that it doesn't make the whole day bad.
It's no small thing you're doing, here on your path through the Fabulous landscape. For it's also a path of transformation inside you. You've decided that you want a healthier path forward. You're treating the reticent voices inside you with kindness and compassion. You’re taking things one step at a time so it's not a shock to your system. This is your journey. You’re becoming your own advocate, your own ally, someone who truly steps into the fullness of your life.
Fascinating insight, so thanks for 1) commiting to this, and 2) sharing it with us. It really does show that we go through chapters in life; not just the BIG ones, but smaller periods that can last days or even hours. We are so utterly human, and so much of what we do (and ARE) centers around our emotions.
4:08 this is so important. When we're in a negative mood it's almost like we get amnesia that we ever weren't in that negative mood. It really truly feels like it'll never get better and we're just stuck in this permanent state of negative emotion, but then somehow it always does eventually, but we forget this over and over.
The way you figured out how to rate your day and the "year end" review process you showed was extremely helpful! Those were the parts I always struggled with these types of trackers.
No one is going to comment on the head wall crush? That’s brilliant! Lost 3 hours work will ruin my day as well lol! Congrats for becoming a dad! So happy for you!
Hey Matt, Princy here and I just want to tell you one thing after watching thus video that's thanks for all these amazing content which unveils the beauty of life keep going ✨️✨️
I swear by daylio! Started it randomly a few years ago and have stopped. Getting close to a 1600+ days streak and it's an integral part of my routine now.
Awesome video Matt, Thanks! Just started logging my mood a few days ago using the Apple health app on iOS 17 It's really similar to how you did it with a 5 steps system (Very Unpleasant, Unpleasant, Neutral, Slightly Pleasant, Very Pleasant) It also let you pick and choose how you feel and what had the most impact on you at the time of the log. Plus it takes into consideration other aspects that might affect your mood like "how much time you sleep" and "did you do any workouts" Will be very interesting to see the results in a year from now and identify patterns or trends to see what affects my mood the most and how I can improve myself with that information.
Couldn't find a Patreon so words of affirmation it is! Love this channel, been subscribed for 4+ years, I constantly use the knowledge from your videos to better structure my ever changing life. Thank you for such great content! Also should have got a daylio link as I'm now trying this but I could never do it on paper would lose my mind!
This was one of the more interesting videos you’ve done for me. Well done! This along with time tracking in my calendar is something I want to try now.
Thanks for the inspiration! I've created my own mood tracker in Excel file and I'll use it every day. I'm very curious what I'll discover about myself 😃
Your content is just SO good!! Whenever a watch it I feel inspired to change something in my life and become a better person/professional. I feel like I haven’t yet but maybe this is the video that will change that 😅
I am glad you have discovered life after work. I am Spanish, and in the south of Europe we have this culture. We work to live, but we don't live to work. We cannot work over 40h a week (there are a few exceptions but the year has to balance this average). As for myself, I work 5-6h a day in person, and 0-1 at home. Of course you can love your job (I do) but you need your rest and your leisure time. Otherwise you get burnt.
I love this idea!!! I shared this video with my dad!! I should do this so I can figure out what causes me to be more depressed or what causes my anxiety to flare up!! I want to do this!!! ❤❤❤😊😊😊

nice to see you again in youtube matt
Damn a whole year???
Congratulations 🎊 😊
Congratulations Matt!!
Waiting for the “I’ve been a Dad for 30 days” video! Congrats, your content always makes my day! 🎉💯
Dude... i've been a dad for ELEVEN days today and that's.... craaaazy. Waiting for Matt's vídeo 🙌🙌 It's gonna be fun to watch hahaha
would love that so much!!
he did do it xD
I was diagnosed with Bipolar 1 (well managed, these days), general anxiety disorder and a collection of other alphabet soup diagnoses. I’ve been tracking my moods and habits for almost four years now. I digitized all of my records, inputting them into a spreadsheet sorted by year, divided into months and days, so on, a few years ago.
In the beginning, my chart was fairly simple. I assigned a designation of 1-10 to each day, subdividing 1-4 as a “dangerous” or “evaluate and reflect category”, 5-7 as a fairly normal oscillation range, 6 as a baseline, and 8-10 as a “monitor and check in with yourself”/mania category.
Over the years, I’ve added stats like my weight, if I’ve done drugs or drank alcohol that day, if I had sex that day, how many meals I’ve eaten, a section for mood triggers and stressors, a section for my weight (divided into healthy and unhealthy ranges, I lose weight quickly in depressive states), as well as a section for medication changes, abnormal spending patterns, notes from therapy, etc. I think I track almost 60 datapoints these days.
Having almost four years of data at my fingertips, in that much detail, is transformative for bipolars and those suffering other mental health conditions. I’m able to pinpoint seasonal fluctuations and dips, notice when mania or depression may be kicking in, keep a tab on why I’m sleeping poorly or too much, draw correlations between lifestyle habits and mental health effects-it’s transformative. This tool should be employed by ANYONE struggling with, or managing, their mental health.
As someone that also has bipolar disorder 1 (well managed), I think data has always been really helpful for me. I will try this!
This is so smart dude.
Can you share it? Is it public or online?
@@zareefamyeen6925 I hope that it’s helpful 😊
@@cheekychoc5132 I’m not sure how to do that. I’m happy to share if there’s some kind of file sharing site.

How is daliyo helping? Because it just asks for the mood once a day and it's hard to sum up all the mood swings at a particular time.
Hey, do you used Daylio or DaylioBean?

9:42 Everything after this time stamp hit me home. I am not the same guy ever since college ended.
I did a mood tracker where I had to write, for three years and it's incredible. I went from a huge mess to feeling a relative okay mood.
I watched a Matt D'Avella video today, so my chart will say "fun" for today 😂 Hope Natalie is good and the baby too.
4:08 this is so important. When we're in a negative mood it's almost like we get amnesia that we ever weren't in that negative mood.

Congrats Matt! Nice to see you back..I'm also a dad now to my daughter Summer☺️
Can’t wait to hear about your bambino!!! Congratulations 🎉
The way you figured out how to rate your day and the "year end" review process you showed was extremely helpful! Those were the parts I always struggled with these types of trackers.
No one is going to comment on the head wall crush? That’s brilliant! Lost 3 hours work will ruin my day as well lol! Congrats for becoming a dad! So happy for you!
This is such a cool and precious concept
Alr bro, made my own spreadsheet as well now. Will track it as well now. Keep you posted until next year august 1st 2024.
Wow, I've been using Daylio for 3 years, and I loved seeing that you were using it too! Now I'm going to use it with a mischievous grin 🤭
Watching Matt's videos has it's own ritual. It's awesome to consume content with high quality! Always appreciate!
Welcome back Matt, great to see you again
Hey Matt,
Princy here and I just want to tell you one thing after watching thus video that's thanks for all these amazing content which unveils the beauty of life keep going ✨️✨️
thanks for making this vid! I'm using the google sheet logging to help keep my days focused
I swear by daylio! Started it randomly a few years ago and have stopped. Getting close to a 1600+ days streak and it's an integral part of my routine now.
Awesome video Matt, Thanks!
Just started logging my mood a few days ago using the Apple health app on iOS 17
It's really similar to how you did it with a 5 steps system (Very Unpleasant, Unpleasant, Neutral, Slightly Pleasant, Very Pleasant)
It also let you pick and choose how you feel and what had the most impact on you at the time of the log.
Plus it takes into consideration other aspects that might affect your mood like "how much time you sleep" and "did you do any workouts"
Will be very interesting to see the results in a year from now and identify patterns or trends to see what affects my mood the most and how I can improve myself with that information.
Your videos are the few videos where I do not skip through the ad reads because I genuinely enjoy them, so thanks for that 😊
Congratulations for your baby! 😃🥰😘
Congrats on being a dad, that's awesome. 🎉
The same blogger who undeservedly The same blogger who has an undeservedly low number of views, good luck!! Love you
Every mood has an activity to see it through satisfaction.
Just the best. The best. The best content.
I love his content and dedication! How he makes every of our imaginations into reality wow.
Couldn't find a Patreon so words of affirmation it is! Love this channel, been subscribed for 4+ years, I constantly use the knowledge from your videos to better structure my ever changing life. Thank you for such great content!
Also should have got a daylio link as I'm now trying this but I could never do it on paper would lose my mind!
This was one of the more interesting videos you’ve done for me. Well done! This along with time tracking in my calendar is something I want to try now.
I am always excited when you updated a new video. I really like your work.
As always ,,, making us better through sharing your experience .
ty for the end clip of you ramming your head through the stunt wall lmao. top tier content 10/10
I’m happy to hear that. Congrats 😊
The commitment to the dry wall bit 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Gosh what an awesome video! Always delivering quality, Matt! Thanks for the insight. You’ve inspired me to track my mood daily too!!!
It's August 1, a perfect way to start the month.. and probably a year of tracking my moods too.
Thanks for the inspiration! I've created my own mood tracker in Excel file and I'll use it every day. I'm very curious what I'll discover about myself 😃
Just knew it happened. Congrats man
I absolutely loved this video! i feel inspired me to start tracking my mood and journaling now
Self Awarness is Everything
Your content is just SO good!! Whenever a watch it I feel inspired to change something in my life and become a better person/professional. I feel like I haven’t yet but maybe this is the video that will change that 😅
0:10 I see the next video on minimalist home renovation is coming along nicely
I am glad you have discovered life after work. I am Spanish, and in the south of Europe we have this culture. We work to live, but we don't live to work. We cannot work over 40h a week (there are a few exceptions but the year has to balance this average). As for myself, I work 5-6h a day in person, and 0-1 at home. Of course you can love your job (I do) but you need your rest and your leisure time. Otherwise you get burnt.
Congratulations Matt! I’m sure you’re gonna be a great dad and husband ❤
Congratulations, both 😊
Such a dime of a video like always. So happy your back and congrats on being a new dad!!☺️👏🏻
I was waiting for your videos so bad man. Looking forward to seeing you in my feed next week🤗
I love this idea!!! I shared this video with my dad!! I should do this so I can figure out what causes me to be more depressed or what causes my anxiety to flare up!! I want to do this!!! ❤❤❤😊😊😊
Great video and subject! And congratulations for the baby!
Congrats. Its always worth the wait with your work .....
I've been doing it weekly, since I started my PhD 25 weeks ago. I think I ought to consider a daily assessment as well.
good to see you again, Matt!
Very timely bit of content for me. Thanks for the perspective!
Let’s gooo!! I was impatient to see your next video!!! Very cool as always!! And congrats on becoming a dad!!!!
