In case anyone was wondering, yes I'm still a nerd:

Back in February-ish I started time-tracking work and university projects. I've found it to be just valuable enough that I don't mind the hassle of tracking (elizabeth, totally inspired by Cortex!). For fun I decided to start analyzing the data to look for patterns, which resulted in creating the above graph in Python.

Think of the graph as a frequency heatmap for each of my 7 Toggl 'projects' throughout the day. Darker colors in the left graph means I have tracked a lot of time in that project at that moment. Darker colors in the right graph means I have tracked a lot of time relative to other moments in the day in that project. So you can clearly see my morning and evening commute in the right graph, and you can clearly see I've been spending most of my time working on my thesis in the last half year. There are probably more patterns, I'll see what I can dig up!
