Tags are designed to help you keep track of the different activities you do throughout your day.
Tagging can help you understand how many PacePoints, your daily activities take up. This can help you to plan your day better, prioritize tasks, and pace yourself to stay within your budget.
How to use tags
Tag activities broadly: It's best to use more general tags, like "Cooking dinner," rather than specific ones, like "Cooking spaghetti bolognese". This helps in comparing energy expenditure across similar activities.
Consistency counts: Stick with the same tags for repeated activities. This consistency will help you to track changes and spot patterns in those activities over time.
Keep things manageable: You don't need to tag every single thing you do. A good place to start is to tag activities that push you into the Exertion zone.
Tag rest: Once you have got the hang of tagging Exertion you might also tag periods where you are resting. It also means it'll be easier to see if your zones might need adjusting.
Making the most of your tags
To get the most out of activity tags, remember to:
Tag activities soon after they happen to maintain accuracy. Please don't start tags before or during an activity as this can impact the data.
Use activity insights to make informed decisions about how you spend your time.
The goal of using tags is not to micro-manage every minute of your day, but to improve your understanding of where you're spending your energy. With this knowledge, you'll be able to pace yourself better.
