Looking through his travel history, this man must have a massive carbon footprint.
I really hope that the world stops idolizing the digital nomad lifestyle.

Exactly my thoughts! Calls himself a digital nomad with a photo of just two suitcases, yet each photo is a different wardrobe and a different country.
Either I'm just being jealous, or he is indeed this vain, or both.

#35This is a really cool project, but I have to ask a very simple question: is there an immeasurable impact of trying to measure all the impacts on your life?
Re: I put my whole life into a single database
#36I collected a lot of data on my life, and tried to analyse it.
The learnings that I got out of it was very non-surprising. Basically, if I slept 8h and I worked out regularly, I was happier and had more energy. That was basically the only two things that really stood out amongst all the factors I tracked.

#37I've tried various schemes for measuring my life and what I found was most effective was keeping a simple emotional journal every night. I've fallen off the wagon, but what I found was that the process of doing a nightly retrospective of my day improved my mood, made me less likely to get angry and made it easier to stay focused.

#38Neat, and interesting that his conclusion is that it's too much effort to do for oneself. My take on this is Timelinize[0], which is capable of downloading all your data from various digital records like social media, your phone, arbitrary files and unstructured folders, your Google account, etc. So it can aggregate data from Google Photos, Location History, Twitter, Facebook, text messages, and more, onto your compu…

Still deciding; I want it to appeal to general audiences, rather than only techies. Timelinize is taking a lot of my free time (along with a new family life, etc.), so Timeliner isn't being updated right now.
(Also, I'm in the market for a better, available name.)

Thanks for sharing Timelinize and Timeliner. It's always great to meet other people in this space.
My own take on this problem is Chronomize [0], which I've been working on since 2020. It's interesting how we independently came up with similar names.
