When I start on a "new thing", be it a new car, new motorhome, or whatever, I start off logging information. I usually fail to continue with it after a while, but certainly not because it is boring but because I just forget (the same problem happens with paying credit card bills and submitting tax returns on time

- but at least with those, you can set reminders or auto-payments ).
If I thought it were boring or 'sad', then I wouldn't bother starting, or doing things like writing a spreadsheet to work out cost-effective price-hunting for fuel.
I think some people just don't 'get it', which is fine, but why they feel the need to slag others off who do is beyond me
