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?

This is awesome! I haven't read your post fully yet so forgive me if you cover this, but have you heard of those studies that say that the optimal ratio for good things to bad things in a relationship is 5:1? Sounds like you and your GF are in an ideal situation :)

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

Cool project otherwise.

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.

We can solve this problem simply by taking out "with data", which is how quantifying tends to be done anyhow.

I have read some of those, yes! My mind was blown when I read those since they matched my current situation at the time to the decimal. If you have any more links for me, I'd love to read more!
