NUMBER OF ACTIONS RECORDED
Starts from 6:00 AM to 5:00PM. Note that in some periods of time I couldn't record anything, so...
TYPES OF ACTIONS RECORDED
Pretty self-explanatory. It makes me happy that my interactions with people lists higher than anything else I do.
HOLY CRAP THE DOCUMENT ITSELF
In its unspellchecked glory! BEWARE, GRAMMAR NAZIS!

Well, I'm not very good at visual integration (and that really should be a histogram anyway, action-minutes isn't a very meaningful unit of measure), but that looks like well over 200 actions recorded.
I am impressed.
Very very impressed.
More thorough than I would have done, by far.
Yeah, see, I don't even know what a histogram so... >_>
I hate to ask this in the face of such an amazing & exhausting amount of work, but... how are the actions divided between public & private in your graphs?
Yeah, that's really the tough part of the task... figuring out what makes an action "public".
Any praxis is going to be a log of somebody's day. Understanding what defines public life, and verifying its death, is going to take a lot of these logs.
unfortunately i'm far too obsessive compulsive to read the text. i would be obligated to post it, in its entirety, after copy editing.
that's amazing.
even though you didn't specify which action is public or private.
love it
Hah. Beat you to it by two minutes.
(Nonetheless, your graphs are better. Vote.)
