analyzing myself
life logging is super important
what things am i interested in processing?

https://activitywatch.net/  good resource for tracking
[[https://blog.jethro.dev/posts/self_tracking_in_plain_text/][Jethro's self tracking in plain text]]

doing things digitally automatically logs data for the timeline
feels wrong that data can be forgotten and lost forever
want to have the choice whether to forget or remember,
and want to be able to access forgotten memories

ultimately, i want this to be an effort to accomplish two things:
- reduce the services i use
- connect all of the services i use
and i want to be able to interface with all of them

eventually, i would like to be able to open this ecosystem to others,
and in doing so allow people to share events, memories and experiences


* text messages
i want to see everything i have sent and to whom i have sent it to

- what projects do i work on? when? how much do i do?

does perceived health matter more than actual health?
this is just one study but nature is huge.

https://wakatime.com/ tracking time spent in various editors to get programming metrics!

https://kern.io/dashboard brilliant idea: personal tracking of tons of different metrics publicly available!
okrs for personal use are great too. [[file:hackathon.org][Hackathon]]
