There is nothing quite like having to unexpectedly deal with your own mortality. Mark Leavitt experienced that “wake up call” when he spent Thanksgiving in 2007 at a cardiac cath lab. While he didn’t have a heart attack, he left with 3 stints and new outlook. He decided to take a hard look at his “comfortable life” and see what he could change. After a successful diet and exercise regimen helped him lost 35 pounds he found himself slowly re-gaining weight. What happened next was amazing. Watch this great talk and Q&A to learn how he tracked and hacked his computer time to make it a much healthier endeavor.

This talk was filmed at our 2012 Quantified Self Global Conference. We hope that you’ll join us this year for our 2013 Conference where we’ll have great talks, sessions, and discussions that cover the wide range of Quantified Self topics.
