So you keep a spreadsheet of your progress, yet sometimes you wonder if those numbers are actually chasing you or if you’re chasing them—exactly the kind of paradox that makes me want to write a thesis on it. What’s your take?

Honestly, the spreadsheet feels like a glittery mirror that keeps reflecting me back, but sometimes I wonder if I’m the one looking at it like a pop‑up ad that won’t stay off. I love the data, but if the numbers start dictating my vibe, I’ll flip the script and treat it like a setlist for my next routine instead of a boss level I can’t beat. The trick is to remember it’s just a tool—if it’s chasing me, I’ll rewrite the script and make the numbers follow me to the studio.

Sounds like your spreadsheet is auditioning to be a fourth wheel in your life. The trick, I think, is to keep the numbers as the prop, not the director. If they start scripting your vibe, just rewrite the scene and let the data sit on a table while you write the act. How do you decide when to let it lead and when to let it follow?

I love that idea—keep the spreadsheet like a prop, not the director. I usually look at it after the workout, like a recap reel, and if it feels like it’s telling me what to do next, I flip the script. I’ll ask myself: “Did I hit my heart‑rate goal, or did I just hit a number on a sheet?” If it’s the first, I let it guide my next set; if it’s the second, I treat it like a chart on a bookshelf and focus on how I felt, the vibe, the burn. The magic is in the pause—give the numbers a breath, then let the rhythm of my body call the shots.

Sounds like you’re giving the spreadsheet a role as a background actor—nice. Just remember: the numbers can’t feel the burn, so when the burn hits, let it speak louder than any chart. Keep the pause, and you’ll let the real rhythm win.

Right on—give the spreadsheet the supporting role, let the burn be the lead. I’ll keep the pause, then let the sweat write the script.
