I've decided to not attempt recording each mouthful for now. It's not a hard thing to do: it is a hard thing to do consistently. It needs to be a habit.
I'm coming to realise that achieving my prime mission of Indefinite Life mainly involves a fresh lifestyle; or, to put that another way, the formation of new habits. Regular exercise, for example, and taking supplements consistently, as well as recording consumption and many many other things. Each change is small - even trivial - but there are a lot of 'em.
This isn't the first time I've attempted a change of lifestyle. Turning 30 was one occasion; 40 another. On those occasions I dived in head-first, acting as if a lifestyle can be changed like a shirt.
Didn't work. It takes time to change a habit, during which period conscious effort is essential to its formation. There are only so many threads of thought that can be kept in mind at once. Therefore it's more effective to tackle these changes one by one.
Some changes are more important than others. Recording consumption is important, yes; but not a top priority.
