Map of my personal data infrastructure

Kudos! I find this work fascinating.

There are moments that I'm tempted to go down a similar organizational road because I'm curious about the possible lessons from the data aggregation, but I usually pass because the payoff didn't seem large enough.

So that makes me want to ask: Have you learned much from the data? or is it more about organization/keeping control of life?

Perhaps mostly about organization, yeah.

The "quantified self" bit is what you could call learning, but ironically so far I've mostly failed to find any significant correlations in my personal data (which is also an interesting finding, in a way :) ). However I did learn a lot about nutrition/exercise/sleep while tinkering with data, so it was totally worth it so far.

I write about it a bit more here: https://beepb00p.xyz/tags.html#quantifiedself
