Being data nerds as well, we were scratching our own itch with Then.
We tried to add a few things to make it a part of our routine, like push notifications and homescreen widget.
But what worked the best for me personally was seeing the value (i.e insights on my activities): after that it got easier to remember to track.
One other thing was focusing only on things that mattered. At first I was trying to track every single activity every day, but then realized that things like showering didn’t really give much insight. So now I primarily focus on activities that are energy draining or which I want to be conscious about (focused work, meetings, side projects, walking, sport etc.)

You didn’t record the difference between a shower that produced great insight into your software problem of the day and the ones that merely cleaned and relaxed you?
