When tracking daily, I always notice that individual outliers - such as illness, travel or extremely little sleep - severely distort my weekly values. I'm interested in how you mark such days in the Daily Data Tracker: leave them in completely, mark them separately or exclude them from certain evaluations?
My thought on this: Outliers should not be deleted, but rather visibly contextualized. Otherwise the statistics will appear cleaner than everyday life really was. Maybe a simple rule like:
- normal day
- special day with marker
- non-comparable day
In this way trends remain recognizable without individual extreme days covering everything up.
