Here are some tools that I will use to create a quantified self:

Weekly Planners

I have been keeping a weekly planner for a few years. It has activities, to do list and weekly goals. I will continue to use this tool over the coming weeks which when supplemented by prior years will be a nice data set. On the back of many of the planners I have also written a weekly self evaluation so it may be interesting to see how my views have changed.

There will be a lot of data in this set and none of it is currently digitized. It may be beneficial to focus only on my activities and where I was spending time or perhaps show the progression of my weekly goals.

OpenPaths

My activities take place at specific locations. With OpenPaths I can show connections between where I am and what I am doing. OpenPaths is an app that simply stores your gps data. GoogleMaps has a similar feature so I will be able to compare.

Finances

I have been recording my expenditures and income for the past few years. This data collection coincides with the weekly planners so I will be able to combine the two. From my finances I will have a sense of where I ate, what shopping I’ve done and when I was working. Most of my expenses are food so these records will be a fairly good indicator of my food intake.

Google Data

Google owns all my data. Luckily they will also let me see what they have (Data Tools). Their maps location history service will be useful as well as my common search terms and common search times. I may be able to combine Google’s activity records with RescueTime’s computer activity records to create a full picture of how I spend my day.
