There's no standardized list.
Basically it turns out that it's really hard to get people to measure specific stuff and it's often a lot more useful if people measure value that they care about.
Agreed. QS seems most helpful for providing people tools to attack problems they are having (sleep, weight, etc.) rather than make a normal person superhuman.
I wouldn't frame it that way. Talking of "problem" indicates that you compare yourself to the average person. There no reason why you have to do that. You can also track a variable where you are already above average and work on improving on that variable.
On the other hand you have to care about improving on that variable.
