Data Self-Portrait

Actually, I really lack of self-discipline. I always make a lot of plans but seldom execute them. This time, I tried to record my life with Apple Calendar from from Sep 1 to Sep 24 and then visualize it.

Here is the calendar data.

I designed to use Lego blocks of different colors to represent different activities. Everyday when I completed an activity, I would build up a block. Each block represents about 2 to 4 hours.

What I discover in this 24 day experiment?

Without this record, I won't be able to remember what happened 20 days ago. Also, it will be a very interesting thing to do, if I keep building this lego blocks for a year. The timeline will be long enough then and I will have a long physical record of my daily life.
