This is interesting, but I thought the title was "Quantifying happiness in my (relationship with data)", not "Quantifying (happiness in my relationship) with data". As in, "how much value do I get out of tracking my life's data?", which is a question I'm afraid to learn the answer to myself.

Haha I didn't think of that. That might be another cool analysis, though I can't think of a proper method to go with

I think your data would be much different if you were married haha. Cool project otherwise.

This analysis was done when my girlfriend and I weren't yet living together. We currently are renting an apartment together, and this analysis would look entirely different lol. I will eventually try to update this article with my latest data :)

A while back I built a little webapp that helps you track things like this if anyone is interested: https://simple-decisions.herokuapp.com/

Just tried it. Seems simple and functional. Did it go anywhere?

a couple dozen people use it regularly. nothing exceptional. i find it really helpful tho!
