MATT

Looking at Matt Mullenweg, you wouldn’t think the WordPress creator would need to watch his weight. He’s a healthy-looking young man, at age 26.  But staying fit and staying healthy is a top priority to keep him at his personal best, especially with how busy he is running Automattic, the parent company of WordPress and several other blog-related applications.  He also travels the world speaking at conferences, and is constantly writing new blogs. And I guess if you think about it, with an official title of “Chief Barbeque Taster” at Automattic, maybe he’s thinking ahead about his future, as he diligently tracks his daily physical activity and health.

As Management Consultant Peter Drucker once said, “If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it.”

Those are words Mullenweg takes to heart. He measures all aspects of his life, including his health.

Mullenweg uses the Withings Body Scale to give him accountability on staying fit. It connects to wifi and uploads his weight to a service, then syncs with his iPhone so that he can track his weight over time .

In his pocket all day, he keeps a Phillips DirectLife. It tracks how much he moves during the day, and how many calories he burns.”

He says, “It’s pretty handy because you can set goals and say, ‘I’d like to be this active this week.’”

Then when he sleeps at night. He uses a sleep tracker, Zeo Personal Sleep Coach, to analyze his sleep patterns.

“So, between all this I have a very measured life.  I find this data really fascinating.  I like that I can look at the graphs and say, “I had too much to drink that night.   So,  I didn’t sleep very well. Therefore my Phillips DirectLife showed I was less active the next day.  I like seeing the correlation.  And so given this data, just like in business, you can make better decisions having. And I’ve had a lot of fun doing it.”

In the video below, see what makes Mullwenweg, so incredibly ‘driven,’ not only in life, but in business.

看着马特·穆伦维格（Matt Mullenweg），你一定不会认为这位WordPress创始人还需要留意自己的体重。现年26岁的穆伦维格是个健康的年轻人。不过，对他来说，要让自己处于最佳状态、保持体型和健康可是头等大事；尤其是穆伦维格要忙碌地管理Automattic公司——WordPress和其他一些与博客相关的应用程序的母公司。他还周游了世界，在各个大会上发言，并且不断地撰写新博文。各位读者想想看，顶着Automattic公司“首席烧烤品味官”这一正式头衔的穆伦维格，在勤奋记录自己每天的体能运动和健康情况时，也许正在思索自己的未来。

　　正如管理顾问彼得·德鲁克曾说过的：“你无法衡量的东西，你也无法管理（If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it）。”

　　这句话被穆伦维格铭记于心。他衡量自己生活的方方面面，包括自己的健康状况。

　　穆伦维格使用Withings Body Scale体重计来控制体重、保持健康。该体重计能连接到无线网络，并将其所称得的体重数据上传至一个服务器，然后穆伦维格可用iPhone同步此数据，从而能随时注意自己的体重动向。

Phillips DirectLife

　　一个名为Phillips DirectLife的仪器也与他形影不离。该仪器能测量穆伦维格每天的运动量及所消耗的热量。

　　穆伦维格说道：“Phillips DirectLife十分方便，因为你能用它来设定目标，譬如‘我这周想有多少的运动量’。”

Zeo Personal Sleep Coach

　　在睡觉的时候，穆伦维格则使用睡眠追踪器“Zeo个人睡眠教练”（Zeo Personal Sleep Coach）来分析自己的睡眠模式。

　　“这样一来，我的生活能被精确衡量。我觉得这些数据十分有意思。我很喜欢这种感觉，能看着那些图表说：‘我那晚喝得太多了，所以睡得不好。所以Phillips DirectLife显示我次日不够活跃。我喜欢看到这种相关性。就像在生意场上一样，有了这些数据，你就能做出更好的决策。而我在这个过程中享受了很多乐趣。”
