Show Notes Chapter Markers

But as we continue to track ourselves more, is there such a thing as too much data? We explore that idea on today’s episode.

Gray and Lee discuss how devices can motivate us and can also overwhelm and potentially shame us, which metrics to focus on, the importance of how we consume our data, and what our devices don’t tell us.

So let’s get going with today’s Movement Podcast -- powered by FMS.
