I've been trying one of these mood tracking pixel apps. Every day you tap a 1-5 or green to red to summarise how the day went.

Does anyone else, is it worth it, how has it helped you, etc? It feels helpful to some extent; but only if you note down what you did differently or if you are trying out a new plan etc, so that you can see if you get more green squares than usual. 

Secondly, it feels a bit limited. If I had a good day, but something right at the end happens and I do a red square. But if that bad thing happened at the start of the day, it might get forgotten or forgiven by later and the day gets a yellow instead. Is there a better way to track things?

It needs to be quick and simple as I don't have much quiet time in a day to be more in depth. I've seen a similar app that gets you to track mood at regular intervals and I suppose you get an average for the day. I'm not sure that I'd get around to doing it multiple times a day, or I'd only be reminded if things were bad.

Next, what do you track? I probably mess it all up as I'm probably mixing stress, anxiety and depression all into one pixel. If I'm stressed but not specifically anxious, should I do red? Should I make sure I'm concentrating on one and track other things elsewhere? Where, how? Or is tracking overall "mood" the best thing to do?
