1) The simplest thing that you can do to improve your/your family's health?

Use Google Tasks or a similar service to schedule periodic health checkups like blood pressure/weight check or blood sugar testing (if you don't do SMBG).

2) All habits require a cue.

These regular reminders will be the cue --> without a proper timely cue --> you don't have a concrete plan --> you don't have a plan --> you don't check --> you don't check --> you don't assess your health.

3) You don't assess your health and you pay the price.

The beginning of any good habit/ practice is to schedule a cue.

The cue ensures a habit of continual assessment.

Remember --> if you don't measure something, you can't improve it.

4) I have weekly BP measurement reminders which I track using Google Fit.

I have family health checkups scheduled every 3rd Sunday of a month.

I also maintain a 6-12 monthly schedule of blood tests as needed.

5) Good health is a continuous process.

It requires regular monitoring.

Regular monitoring is ensured only when you have a regular cue.

Regular cues get lost in the humdrum of everyday life.

That is why it has to be automated.
