@Twitter 我要

@hardaway Rally ID: Patrick thanks!

Hey Twitter friends: I'm giving away $KARMA. Next 100 people to tweet me their Rally.io ID will get $KARMA coins to spread around.

@mrhealthteacher @MattHaneySF @SFUnified @ppssf @UESF Which vaccine manufacturers are being given here?

Hey San Francisco - drop-in vaccines spots for people 16 and over available RIGHT NOW. 16- and 17-year-olds should go to SF General because that's the spot with the Pfizer vaccines (other vaccines are only approved for 18+) CC: @MattHaneySF @SFUnified @ppssf @uesf

@jaredchung Exactly, like amazon dash. In fact, the first version of the software uses the amazon dash buttons since they can be purchased for under $5. I personally have several around my home for my habits. e.g. I have a button next to my bathroom sink which I press every time I floss.

@PatrickPerey how real? like amazon dash real?

@jaredchung Since we last chatted about time tracking, I've created software for another time tracking friend to track time and habits via a "real" button push. The software works by creating calendar events on a button push. Would you be interested in the software?

@ibillett Cool, I followed up on DM 😀

@PatrickPerey Oh awesome! DM would be best 😁

@ibillett Hi, I found your life track slides from a few years back. Is this still a topic you're interested in?

@jaredchung That's interesting, you used time tracking like training wheels as you adjusted to a new allocation. How long did you track for (from the beginning until the baby came)? How often did you stop and start tracking again between this time?

@PatrickPerey Changing habits is hard. Shifting the allocation took months to make real and consistent. Once I made improvements, if I felt that it really STUCK, then I would stop tracking. If I felt there was still a risk of slippage in the coming months, I'd bring it back.

@jaredchung I found your talk about calendar time tracking from a 2013 QS meetup to be interesting since I've been calendar time tracking for the last 2+ years. Are you still calendar time tracking like you were in 2013? quantifiedself.com/2013/05/jared-…

@jamieinfinity Awesome work on the WorldLine Project! Are there plans to expand it? worldlineproject.com

@ibillett Nice! I've been doing life tracking for about 2+ years now, and I came to similar insights to those shared in the slides. I sent you an email (email found in slides), but it might be an old one. What's the best way to continue our convo? DM? Email?

@PatrickPerey Hey @PatrickPerey, it's not something I've thought about for a while, but is definitely something I'm interested in

@jaredchung No problem, I understand. If tweeting is still okay, then I had a follow up question from before. Did you stop time tracking when you were happy with your time allocation or did you continue? If continued, then why do so after already being happy with the allocation?

@PatrickPerey No, not really, tbh. It was a fun thing I once did, but not really a part of my life anymore. Tweeting about it a bit is alright, but I have to keep my focus on work and family at the moment. Don't have #time for more!

@jaredchung Thanks for the responses thus far. I have several questions based on the last tweet, so would you be open to jumping on a call to chat more?

@PatrickPerey Probably. It wasn't my life though. It was just a tool in my life. As long as I had a hunch that my time was badly allocated, I'd track. But if I was happy, there'd be no need. Vitamins vs medicine as they say

@jaredchung @babyconnect I understand what you meant by tracking your baby now. If you didn’t have the baby, then do you think you would have continued to have time tracked like you were? Why or not not?

@PatrickPerey Once baby came, time was no longer mine to control. Every hour was unpredictable. I might wake up 12x / night, for anywhere from 10-90 mins at a time. Calendars generally were useless. That lasted months, and to some extent, years. But baby time tracking was easy w/ @babyconnect

@jaredchung Lol I’m not sure what you mean nor if you’re joking... either way I’m curious what made it “infeasible” to continue tracking. I’m making an app around this idea, and I want to reach out to people like ourselves who did some time tracking at one point.

@PatrickPerey Wow blast from the past. I did it all the way up until I had my first child. Then tracking my time became infeasible. So... I started tracking my baby's time instead 😇

Isn’t it funny how water vapor up in the sky are called clouds and water vapor closer to the ground is called fog

@teglgaardz haha np! Welcome back on twitter

Congrats everyone on finishing off the 1st half of 2017! #Q3 here we come!
