I think it’s somewhat a matter of personal taste, but like you I’ve found such attempts to quantify my life dissatisfying, although I know others who get a lot out of such attempts. I general fall in the direction of not bothering to measure hard to measure things if I don’t have to, and when I’m reluctantly forced to do it I try to use very gross measurements to match the poor precision possible in such cases. Having the precision of the measurement match the level of precision you can achieve helps avoid getting confused by the numbers and thinking you have more information than you do.
