Graphing should be automatic

If you use a computer to track something for you, like your weight, work time or something else, it easily falls out of your mind. Out of sight, out of mind.

The benefit of using graph paper is that you record and graph in the same step, and are forced to see the graph's development, point by point, day after day. It can't fail.

If I use a computer for this again, I will make sure it automatically pops up an updated graph or report of some kind in my face, every time.
