Quantifying My Life
It worked! While I was writing the little paragraph about
writer’s block, I remembered an interesting idea I had recently.
Last month, I created an excel spreadsheet that would tabulate how I
felt about my life every month. For starters, I decided I would
use a number between 1 and 10 for how things are going. I’ve long
suspected that a number like this would move in predictable
cycles. Unfortunately, my memory about overall feelings in a
given week or month are generally not reliable after a while, and I
don’t keep a diary. Hence, the idea of keeping a
spreadsheet. I think the ideal would be to go by days or weeks,
but that’s a pretty big task, so I’m sticking to months for now.
If I find any interesting results, I suppose it will become a new blog
entry in the future. It would be fun if more people participated
in this and we could actually compile a dataset…
