#92It would be fun to see this with local daylight hours mapped to the squares, so I could get a feel for where my consumption is at within "daylight" vs the whole "day" SunCalc is a good tool for this, if you're interested: https://github.com/mourner/suncalc (I've used it on a personal project, and the API was a little awkward but the results are good: https://daylight.website/ )
I love your personal project! Would make an amazing smartwatch face!
There's an Apple watch face called "solar dial" that's pretty similar, and I've seen others like this.

It's why I follow the "wake up early, work-out, get something done" organizing principle for my day. My day is usually in pretty good shape by 9am, even if nothing else happens.
I have to say, it took me a very long time as a self-identified "night owl" but I finally came around to this. I schedule an Orangetheory class at 8:15 M-W-F (I could go earlier, and have, but I have a 9 month old now and the nanny comes @ 8) and I certainly feel like I get a lot more done (also my energy starts off high).
